We are not left with many so how about something from the House of Heinkel such as the 177?
|
Lars, you're right about there not being many makers left.....
unhappily for you its not from Heinkel either (as white bear found out earlier:}) |
unhappily for you its not from Heinkel either One is tempted to say the FW 191 |
And, on further research it proves to be the case so I will say the FW 191
|
Spot on Lars:D- it is as you say the FW 191:
http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/fw191-12.jpg Only 3 were built due to changing specifications and requirements and they were flown with (very) underpowered BMW 801 engines. Defensive weapons installation is interesting in that it was originally meant to be remotely controlled barbettes: http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/fw191-10.jpg http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/fw191-5.jpg The airframe was apparently a sound and efficient design, the aircraft was let down by the lack of engines in the 2500hp class, a fate which bedevilled several German designs. You have control, Sir |
Thank you sir. I have to say that German aircraft of WW2 with those greenhouse things at the front can be very confusing. The search was interesting.
Next: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...pitquiz509.jpg I will be back at about 0400Z |
Something like the R.A.F. BE2c?

Latest What Cockpit List Update

I haven't a clue what it is, but I've got to ask....is that a pencil sharpener on the right? On an otherwise almost bare panel, it might be useful.
If not, what on earth is it? |
The pencil sharpener is a Bosch magneto ignition switch.

The Heinkel HD-35 (Swedish designation SK5).
|
You are coooorrrect!:ok: :D
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...harter/sk5.jpg The aircraft was delivered in August 1925. It carried Heinkel’s c/n 235 and got the military registration 66, which also later became its Air Force number. The evaluations at Malmen were finished in March 1927. At this time the Air Force was nearly one year old. The HD 35 now carried the designation Sk 5 and the earlier Army Aviation establishment at Malmen had formed the Air Force Wing F 3. The HD 35 showed itself too heavy and was, together with its not too strong engine, not a suitable trainer aircraft. The single Sk 5 was transferred to the War Flying School F 5 at Ljungbyhed, where the photo above was taken in 1926. There it became the personal aircraft of the head of the school, the legendary Navy aviator Captain Arvid Flory. The Sk 5 was written off in the summer of 1929. It was sold to the civil market and got the registration SE-SAM. It was flown by several pilots until 1940, when it was grounded for good. The aircraft still exists and is owned by Flygvapenmuseum. It is under restoration by a volountary group at Tullinge former Air Force base (F 18) near Stockholm. |

USA - Coast Guard's Dassault HU-25C Guardian perhaps?

Amazing to see how much of the B29/B47 look that FW191 had - or was it vice-versa?
|
The panel colour, instrument appearance and multi-function controls look more like Russian manufacture, but the layout doesn't match anything familiar.
|
AB. Chronologically the Focke Wulf design predates the B29 design but only just. I think that the similarities are coincidental however- Heinkel Dornier, Bell and no doubt others I can't think of right now had all designed or flown aircraft with a fully glazed contoured nose in or before either of the types you talk about had flown.
F2 my thoughts were exactly the same, but confusingly all the placarding and instrumentation appears Anglicised (at least the bits I can make out) As a result I shall run away bravely so someone else can ident it. Still strip gauges, electro mech instruments and what looks like an early IN by the co puts me in mind of late 70s kit. Not an An72 Coaler or variant thereof? |
Please can we have confirmation that it's a Russian twin jet?
I wonderd if it's a Beriev amphibian but note that the BE-200 has a digital flight deck and it's forerunner, the A-40 looks very different (although the flight deck background is that same bluish colur!). |
