Thank you. I was confused by what appear to be glazing panels behind the glare shield but are probably just reflections. Wide cockpit.

What about a DC6B?

Could be. It's been 50 years since I flew the -6B and didn't fly the DC-7. My recollection of details just might be a little fuzzy by now. But the fwd end of the overhead isn't what I think I remember it looking like. I'm always prepared to be wrong...and try to stay good at it with steady practice. Maybe Spooky2 will come along and offer his opinion . |
Does this count as a What cockpit or should I post in Name that Flying machine?

European? Whoever built it obviously had shares in the wire business.............

I think a type number is required. |
The dH.60 was the one I had in mind, but I could be wrong.... the cowling points to a Cirrus or Gipsy I engine.

I also think this is a DH-60G Gipsy Moth Coupe.
These have also been built without the exhaust pipe along the side. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....99f00db17.jpeg I did only determine the type after I posted the challenge. The photos is tagged Stag Lane January 1929 Yesterday i found this picture https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....d5411eeb9.jpeg I think Jelle can take the lead? |
Thanks! Let's make it open house, I don't have a suitable challenge available right now.

Must haven been cosy so close side-by-side!!
|
Smaller people in those far off days Bear - and not everyone is built to Dutch standards!
|
Regretfully I can only find a single picture of the cockpit - which isn't surprising given the history - it's pre WW2 of course
|
A bit like an Italian bomber?
|
The Glazing reminds me of a Stinson Trimotor, but I'm not sure it's a three-engined type.
|
Go to `NTFM ,P94,#1876......
OH if correct.... |
Correct - the General Aircraft ST-18 Croydon - I never got to post the cockpit in the What plane thread and it was pity to see it go to waste ;)
Sycamore has called OH https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1a4ae9332d.jpg |
Have we gone through all cockpits already?
This one to prevent the thread to drift to the second forum page. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....dcd3b777a.jpeg If you might find the answer shortly but tend to declare open house, please wait 24hrs before replying. This in order not to spoil the search for others around the globe. |
