Thanks. The S-20 was a modern-looking design for its era. Here is the next cockpit challenge:

How about a SIKORSKY S-38C possibly?

evansb 18th May 2008 01:09

Not the 'Explorer's Air Yacht', as the S-38 was sometimes called. The design of the mystery ship is a bit newer.

mustpost 18th May 2008 06:59

I believe it to be the Sikorsky JRS-1. (From the S-43)

aviate1138 18th May 2008 07:23

Consolidated P2Y-3 perhaps?

evansb 18th May 2008 13:32

mustpost is spot on:ok: The Sikorsky JRS-1, also known as the S-43. You have control.

mustpost 18th May 2008 17:46

Thank you very much - thought I'd try a change of tack here - no doubt an expert will get it in one. Happy Sunday night, sorry for the delay.

Well, with Benzin on the fuel cock and Bosch on the starting magneto, I'm guessing German. Beyond that, no clue ;)

I'm intrigued that there are no flight instruments.

mustpost 18th May 2008 18:16

It is German, and latterly had a good reputation (make what you can of latterly!) seriously, without being disingenuous, instruments may be missing if you look carefully...

Pfalz D.XII?

mustpost 18th May 2008 18:30

Along the right lines...(or wrong lines depending upon who you were)

S'land 18th May 2008 21:58

Fokker D.VIII ?

CoodaShooda 18th May 2008 23:17

Fokker Dr1?

mustpost 19th May 2008 06:26

Not a Fokker I'm afraid - with hindsight this is a bit of hard guesswork, but it was all I had on Photobucket after a busy Sunday - clues are the pic was originally in colour, and the subject is restored in a museum. End of WW1..........

aviate1138 19th May 2008 06:34

Albatross D-V possibly?

denis555 19th May 2008 06:34

Siemans D.III ???

mustpost 19th May 2008 06:48

Neither of the last two I'm afraid - this is not an a/c I was familiar with but it turns out that it could have played a significant role if hostilities had continued..

aviate1138 19th May 2008 06:54

Siemens Schuckert D.IV - fingers crossed.

mustpost 19th May 2008 07:02

Nope - sorry. I believe there are still three in existence - two in Europe and one in the States. Feeling bad about this now so including second view

aviate1138 19th May 2008 07:32

Halberstadt CL IV perhaps?

mustpost 19th May 2008 07:52

Worth the wait, Aviate. Well done - it is indeed the Halberstadt CL IV which I think is still on display at Deutsches Museum, Munich. It was one of the most effective ground attack aircraft of the First World War, relying on its good maneuverability to avoid ground fire, and in service from April 1918.

In an attempt to salvage copyright, could I suggest some more great shots here.

Well done, you have control..

aviate1138 19th May 2008 09:01

Thanks MP, a warm self congratulatory glow is suffusing through my one remaining brain cell, I will take up the challenge in the very near future, however earning some pennies comes first, so for the present, "Open House" must reign.

PS Having lived in Munich for nearly 3 years and visited the DM I realised that I have stood by the very machine and yet it was only when you kindly widened the view and I saw the wooden slip ring that the "pfennig schlagen Sie den Ventilator". :rolleyes:

Cracking Museum btw.

Come on, Mustpost, you must post; don't keep us in suspense. What was its former reputation?

PPRuNe Radar 19th May 2008 12:38

I suspect this one won't last too long ... nice and easy start to the week.

Sorry, a bit obscure I know, but I was trying to indicate that in the latter (closing stages) of WW1 it was a force to be reckoned with and might have made a difference had it seen service say 2 years earlier. Sorry about the grammar..It was a long Sunday...:ooh:

Possibly the Fairchild 82A REG: CF-AXL?

evansb 21st May 2008 13:52

Mel is correct:ok: This Fairchild 82 is from the Argentina Antarctic Survey. You have control.
