The current challenge is clearly French. The windows look like the Farman 224?

Incidentally there is an excellent book on the Baade 152 published in Germany called Der Passagier-Jet <152> by Holger Lorenz. It is in German, but full of photos including many of the cockpit.

evansb 12th Mar 2009 15:12

Yes, it is French, but it is not the Farman F.224.

evansb 13th Mar 2009 15:43

Clues: First flew in 1936 and considered a good performer for the times, the two remaining aircraft ended up with the Vichy Air Force.

Bréguet 462 bomber?

evansb 13th Mar 2009 17:20

Yes, it is the Breguet Br.462 'Vultur' bomber. Some sources categorize it as an 'attack-bomber'. You have control.

I will be away from my computer the next few days, so open house it is...

Here's one that I don't believe we have done yet, at least I could not find it on the list.

Bushfiva 14th Mar 2009 05:44

Well the file name suggests it's a T50 Golden Eagle...

In which case, open house I'm afraid since I have nothing to post.

con-pilot 14th Mar 2009 16:24

Okay, you peeked. Next.

evansb 14th Mar 2009 17:09

It is one thing to look at the file properties, worse still to post the reply based on the properties. In addition, no new challenge is offered. A new low in this thread.

L337 14th Mar 2009 18:52

Either this is a new low point, or you may like the challenge. It is a little out of left field.

Name that Cockpit.

Boeing 757, or possibly any other boeing of the '80s.

L337 14th Mar 2009 20:15

Boeing yes. 757. No. This one was built in the 90's. But the type was rolled out in January 1988 and first flew on 29 April 1988.

dixi188 14th Mar 2009 21:18

Boeing 747-400? (or do you want -436 or whatever?)

open house if correct!

Next switch please:)

L337 14th Mar 2009 22:34

idd. -436 to be exact.

I pass and retire to the shadows

Bushfiva 16th Mar 2009 04:44

In an attempt to redeem myself a little, I offer the following. I'm surprised it's not been here yet, according to the list:

http://www.bushcat.com/ppr-me.jpg

Its derivative has been posted here previously.

stevef 16th Mar 2009 06:50

Looks like a Junkers 88D.

Bushfiva 16th Mar 2009 06:59

Yup, 88D. As I said, I was surprised it hadn't been posted before since the 388 had been. The 88 was originally designed as a heavy dive-bomber. It was the most-produced German two-engined aircraft of WW2.

Over to Stevef.

stevef 16th Mar 2009 19:39

Here's the next challenge. Only the panel, I'm afraid:

pigboat 16th Mar 2009 19:56

Looks like a WCC Mar16. ;)

Evansb on another board on a quiz I used to post, I'd always title the photobucket pic "Quit cheating!" Got 'em every time. :}

stevef 16th Mar 2009 20:27

:)

Strictly speaking (on further research), this aircraft has been done before as its name is in Mel's list but the designation from my source is not quite the same.
Clue: American.

stevef 17th Mar 2009 18:22

Another clue - only two prototypes were manufactured before the project was cancelled.

stevef 18th Mar 2009 18:52

Not much to go on from the panel, I suppose.
A bit more information: Single engine, larger, heavier and faster than a B25 Mitchell.

Bus429 18th Mar 2009 19:54

Brewster XA 32

stevef 18th Mar 2009 20:27

Sorry, Bus, not the XA32 but it made interesting reading nevertheless:
Brewster XA-32 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

stevef 20th Mar 2009 06:43

Powered by a P&W 4360, first flight 1945. That should get this one out of the way. :)

Tu.114 20th Mar 2009 10:35

Curtiss XBTC?

Curtiss XBTC / XBT2C - torpedo-bomber

evansb 20th Mar 2009 16:21

The Douglas (X)TB2D torpedo bomber. Not to be confused with the Douglas BTD-1 torpedo/dive bomber.

stevef 20th Mar 2009 17:43

Bri correctly identifies the Douglas TB2D.
TB2D Skypirate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was originally offered in What Cockpit as the XTB2D and I didn't check that it was the same model. :O

evansb 20th Mar 2009 18:31

Thank you. Here is the next "What Cockpit?":

sycamore 20th Mar 2009 23:27

Bit of a race,or just a sprint?

evansb 21st Mar 2009 00:41

It is not a Rallye.

wz662 21st Mar 2009 08:04

Grob, but only because it looks like an UK military hangar

evansb 21st Mar 2009 13:53

Sorry, not a Grob 115, but similar. Not sure if hangar is ex-RAF.

evansb 22nd Mar 2009 18:23

Here is a big clue: The company also developed this design:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...WCP090320A.jpg

evansb 24th Mar 2009 13:44

I didn't think this challenge would last this long. The aircraft is an all-composite, powered by a Rotax 914. A larger, improved version of the aircraft is powered by a diesel engine.

Madbob 24th Mar 2009 14:13

Is it a SIAI 208?

MB

evansb 24th Mar 2009 15:50

Sorry, not the SIAI Marchetti S.208. The mystery aircraft is a two-place trainer.

S'land 24th Mar 2009 16:03

How about the NAL Hansa from India?

evansb 24th Mar 2009 17:59

S'land is correct:ok: The NAL Hansa II. Over to you.:)
