Flettner 282 Kolibri?

I have a feeking it was one of the German helicopters, how about the Focke Achelis FA-223?

Brings to mind the machine occasionally carried by U-boats as a towed spotter aircraft. I agree with LowNSlow that it might have been a Focke design. Achgelis 330 perhaps?

Kitbag has it. It is indeed the Flettner 282 Kolibri. :D
Mel informed me that it had appeared earlier however, I did not have it on my (admittedly old) list so my apologies if this spoiled it for anyone.
Here it is in action

You have control, sir.

Thanks Lars. This photo of a scale model of the Kolibri should be a little clearer of the cockpit glazing when fitted:

Wikipedia has some more images for those interested

OK, this one hasn't appeared before according to the list.

To narrow the field a little, WW1, French?

I was getting worried then! Is Mel ok?

To answer the question- a gnats crotchet later and rather more perfidious

In that case I'll try Avro 504, although it looks too basic for that, as well as being too simple an answer in this expert thread..

but it's the only one I can think of!

Thanks kitbag :). I am fine just biding my time :)

Sorry not the 504, it certainly looks basic, but was probably no different to most other aircraft of its type.

The Vickers Viking flying boat. The photo shows a Canadian Air Force Viking, purchased in 1923.

Thanks Kitbag, that was fun. Here is the next 'What cockpit?'

I think we are back at sea again. Please check your PMs.

Total guess, Supermarine Southampton Stranraer?

Sorry, Kitbag, not a British-made aircraft.

But it is a twin engine biplane flying boat?

It is a twin-engine monoplane, but not a flying boat.

Is it a Heinkel He 111B?
