How about the Sopwith Atlantic then.
Ahhh....there ya go Terry - well done mate. Over to you. :)

Sopwith Atlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK. A bit more nostalgia then.
The prototype of this aircraft first flew more than 60 years ago.
And for extra points I want to know the correct name of the manufacturer of this particular (a later model in the series ) aircraft.

Well, it's XH558 as was, G-VLCN as is, and the CAA's database has it as manufactured by 'AV Roe and Co Ltd' but I suspect the answer you're looking for is 'Hawker Siddeley'.

Terry Dactil 25th May 2015 17:36

That's it.
As Avro was absorbed in the mergers in 1963, to be pedantic it became a Hawker Siddlely Vulcan. I doubt many use that name though.

Well done. You have control sir.

Apologies, I thought I had something but alas no.

Therefore, OPEN HOUSE.

Well, someone's got to say it!
The rear cockpit of a a very decrepit DH-82 Tiger Moth?

oldpax 27th May 2015 09:57

Very decrepit indeed!!
 
Thai air force museum.Other cockpit full of candy wrappers etc!!
Over to you .

Terry Dactil 27th May 2015 10:38

Yes. It's very sad when you have memories of flying in ones that looked more like this.

Nothing handy right now, so OPEN HOUSE.

oldpax 28th May 2015 12:17

Bit blurred.

Saab 29 Tunnan?

India Four Two 28th May 2015 19:56

It looks American to me.

Noyade 28th May 2015 22:21

SAAB
 

Saab 29 Tunnan?
Interesting choice Kitbag, so I ran with it. :) Didn't find the Tunnan cockpit illustrated - but the J21A was there...

oldpax 29th May 2015 00:10

J21 it is!!
 
Looks like you buy the same magazine I do!!

Noyade 29th May 2015 03:50

Thanks oldpax - but Kitbag deserves the credit for that one. So, over to Kitbag, or open house.

Cheers.

Kitbag 29th May 2015 04:47

Thank you, Noyade, that is very generous of you. TBH that was just a punt. Nothing readily to hand just yet, it being silly o'clock in the morning here. Open House.

Kitbag 21st Jun 2015 18:50

Right then, another go

Certainly a twin, a lot more elegant looking, IMHO, than the Beaufighter, with a similar crew disposition, but nowhere near as heavily armed. Not British, despite how the gauges may appear

Kitbag 21st Jun 2015 21:42

Much closer, but not the Nick.

Noyade 22nd Jun 2015 09:37

G'day Kitbag.

Much closer, but not the Nick.
Found a PDF on Japanese cockpits - this looks similar, the Mitsubishi Ki-46 Dinah II?
