Looks French,Potez type?
Possibly a Potez 63 variant?

Not the SNAC NC510 I am afraid.

You have it SLB it is in fact the Bloch MB174, You have control.

Thanks,
I could not find same cockpit photos but shape of canopy led me to this stab.

Somewhat more contemporary:

Asturias56 9th Dec 2019 13:53

Not exactly your average A.380 .... does it have doors Bear?

Asturias56 9th Dec 2019 14:19

You know - that look VERY rough - the carpet doesn't even match LHS/RHS (the shame! the shame!!)

it's either something old that someone has/is restored/restoring or it's a one off built by someone with my hands-on engineering skills

Self loading bear 9th Dec 2019 14:31

With sufficient hands-on engineering skills you can fit the doors yourselves on this kit plane

India Four Two 9th Dec 2019 18:23

No clue what it is, but that is a SERIOUS G-meter!

You might be right!
I thought it to be an Excell meter!
I don’t think the pointer will move much beyond -0,5 or +2
Especially when it is fitted with floats!

Self loading bear 10th Dec 2019 05:02

I feel a clue is needed:
It can be found in the right part of the photo.
And a slight correction:
It is a large canopy and there are no doors

Asturias56 10th Dec 2019 07:17

An obvious question - is this a biplane perhaps? There's an awful lot of shadows around that could be from struts for a top plane

Self loading bear 10th Dec 2019 10:34

Yes it is a biplane

Asturias56 10th Dec 2019 11:22

Ahhh - always reread the clues carefully ......

if I blow the picture right up I can see the word "Durand" just below the line of switches above the radios on the right of the panel - thus Google gives me the Durand MkV as back in production

OH if correct

old,not bold 10th Dec 2019 12:35

While we're waiting......I looked up the Durand Mk V in Wiki, and saw the following;

"Durand Mk V at the Museum of Flight, Seattle The Durand Mark V has disappeared from the Museum of flight and they do not know where it went".

Surely there must be a story there? Does anyone know more? It's such a sad little footnote.

Oops I did not even see that myself!
the clue meant was the far forward lower wing.
Combined with the struts for the negative staggered upper wing.
You could have found this Durand Mark V when you would have searched for canard kit plane.
Instruments on the prototype were military surplus.
The large canopy slides forward and the rug on top of the dashboard and that on the floor do actually match (but not with the seats)

OH called

India Four Two 10th Dec 2019 19:05

It wasn’t at the Museum of Flight Restoration Center when I went there four years ago. I would have remembered a modern Staggerwing!

Asturias56 14th Dec 2019 07:47

All quiet on here - try this.......

Ejection seat and OX, so kinda 1978-ish? Could this be a NASA vehicle?

Early Night-Hawk cockpit ?

Not a Night Hawk - an awful lot of these were built

The original was pre 1970's - this may be an upgrade tho around that time

sycamore 14th Dec 2019 10:40

First shot...Soko Galeb,if I remember it correctly...?

Asturias56 14th Dec 2019 11:12

No but getting towards the right part of the world.................

Self loading bear 14th Dec 2019 12:24

Mig 15?
Lucky find:

edit: photo deleted, wrong MIG



sycamore 14th Dec 2019 12:27

Yes, has to be the MiG-15.... OH if correct.....
AHH,beaten by slow computer......

Asturias56 14th Dec 2019 13:18

Very close Bear but incorrect.................................

India Four Two 14th Dec 2019 13:47

How about “plus 2”?

I think you have a winner here!
Just found the picture of this private owned American registered machine.

Asturias56 14th Dec 2019 14:25

I have it down as MiG 17F - and this is the picture I cropped it from............. it's run by RedStripe MIG but TBH its very similar to the Mig15 (bottom) - some differences in the side panels for example but I think Bear has the con......................

Self loading bear 14th Dec 2019 14:30

Thanks Asturias,
But sufficient differences on the Left panel to have been able to identify correctly if I had taken more time.
I think I42 is the one to take the con.
He has nailed the score.
I will take the assist.
