I'll go for the Bloch MB 174? Not holding my breath though!

Used by both the Allies and the German Forces.
You have control

Noyade 28th Jul 2009 12:03


You have control
Amazing. :)

Unlikely to guess correctly again, so I can't let this opportunity pass.


MReyn24050 28th Jul 2009 16:30

Possibly the controls of an airship or blimp.

Noyade 29th Jul 2009 03:35

No, it is a high wing aircraft Mel. The swivel seat is the observers and behind that, the cockpit. Power was provided by a Lycoming 0-290-AZ.

Thanks Noyade! Great find! Here is the next "What Cockpit?"

evansb 31st Jul 2009 13:40

Clue time: The mystery aircraft entered serial production. The photo was taken in a museum.

evansb 1st Aug 2009 14:46

More clues: Multi-purpose aircraft built in the 1950s.

evansb 2nd Aug 2009 23:14

Clues: Powered by two 9-cyl. radial engines manufactured in the same country as the aircraft.

Ridge Runner 3rd Aug 2009 05:56

I've really no idea but it is clearly not one that was intended for ruggged work - viz the broken windscreen. The panelling and tube framing also tells me that this is not a robust machine. Maybe wrong! RR ... still thinking...

MReyn24050 3rd Aug 2009 10:30

Methinks it is the DINFIA IA 35 Huanquero.

evansb 3rd Aug 2009 16:37

Mel is correct:ok: Over to you.

Siebel Si 204D?

MReyn24050 5th Aug 2009 12:15

Mel's Challenge
 
Sorry Noyade, not the Siebel Si 204D.

MReyn24050 5th Aug 2009 19:34

Time for a clue. This aircraft flew with a big red star on the side.

Noyade 5th Aug 2009 23:36


big red star
Can't help but think it has a greenhouse nose...Arkhangelskii Ar-2/SB-RK?

MReyn24050 6th Aug 2009 00:03

Noyade. Not the Arkhangelskii Ar-2/SB-RK I am afraid.

Yakovlev YAK-2 KABB experimental attack aircraft ?

MReyn24050 7th Aug 2009 19:42

Bri has it it is the Yakovlev YAK-2 KABB :ok:

You have control.

evansb 7th Aug 2009 21:24

Thanks Mel. I'm not sure why the YAK-2 KABB didn't enter production. Here is the next mystery cockpit:

sycamore 9th Aug 2009 15:55

Possibly a Hornet Moth ?

evansb 9th Aug 2009 17:07

Sorry sycamore. Not from De Havilland. The aircraft was built on the European continent.

Ridge Runner 9th Aug 2009 17:18

Making a stab, and trying to interprept the data on the photo, it is an Eastern-bloc type, possibly East German type. That's as much as i think i can see!! RR

evansb 9th Aug 2009 19:00

Sorry RR, not from a former Soviet-bloc country.

Noyade 10th Aug 2009 00:19

The PZL-104 Wilga?

evansb 10th Aug 2009 00:44

Sorry Noyade, not from Poland.

evansb 10th Aug 2009 15:20

Clue: The aircraft in the photo was built in 1946, and is powered by a British-built engine.

one11 10th Aug 2009 19:50

1946 ? European ? British Engine ? How about a Danish KZ-III ???

evansb 10th Aug 2009 21:43

one11 is correct. The SAI KZ.III. You have control.

Something a bit more heavyweight.............

Ridge Runner 11th Aug 2009 06:23

As a wild guess, and based on the green facias, I'll offer up the Tu-134. For those "in the know" I'm sure the suggestion maybe laughable but hey, ho..... RR

one11 11th Aug 2009 09:05

Sorry RR, not a Tu-134

Boss Raptor 11th Aug 2009 10:18

Dassault Mercure? ps. if it is correct then 'open house' :)

Ridge Runner 11th Aug 2009 10:29

I think you're right.

Nice photo of the KZ EvansB!
