OK!

Hopefully this one won't confound the experts for 4 days like my last one. (In reality I think the experts must have been on holiday this last week, :} )

Something slightly different, it is a cockpit but no instrument panel on show I am afraid.

Aerfer Sagittario?

sycamore 31st Jul 2008 12:56

Ambrosini(Aerfer) Ariete...Derwent and Soar powered...


Open House

RETDPI is obviously a man who knows his aircraft.:ok::D. It is indeed the Aerfer Sagittario II. However Sycamore's choice the Ambrosini (Aerfer) Ariete is very very close as both aircraft were basically similar and I would say be almost impossible to tell the difference from the photograph posted.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c6...gittarioII.jpg
From Virtual Aircraft Museum

After tests with a 45° sweptback wing fitted to an otherwise standard Ambrosini S.7, thus nicknamed Freccia (Arrow), the designer Sergio Stefanutti designed the Sagittario (Archer) powered by a 400kg thrust Turbomeca Marbore turbojet. Intended mainly for aerodynamic research into transonic compressibility, the Sagittario was built largely of wood, and flew for the first time on 5 January 1953. From this initial prototype Stefanutti subsequently developed the Sagittario II, which made its maiden flight on 19 May 1956. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Derwent 9 turbojet, this more advanced aircraft was virtually a new design and of all-metal construction. The Sagittario II was the first aircraft of Italian design to exceed Mach unity when it reached Mach 1.1 in a dive on 4 December 1956.
You have control.

RETDPI 31st Jul 2008 13:10

The Ariete and Sagittario were pretty well identical around the cockpit. Actually I guessed Ariete first then checked on line. As now preserved at Vigna di Valle ,the anti-glare panel on the preserved Sagittario matched your shot (the Ariete now not having one) :8-so I changed my post.

I don't recall this cockpit being posted.....

Sorry 8028410q could you please hold your post until RETDPI's challenge has been identified or open house is given, otherwise confusion reigns.

RETDPI 31st Jul 2008 21:07

Su -15 "Flagon" it certainly is , well done 8028410q . (Hmm. That looks vaguely like a comparatively recent service number.???)

Looks like we are all back on track as you've just posted( and deleted) so you can now reinstate.

Then off we go again :).

8028410q 31st Jul 2008 22:15

Hmm, recent service number, no, issued some 25 years ago! Sorry about the mixup before. Here is my post:
