Is it?
 
A Monospar?

Kitbag 21st Apr 2015 17:35

Control yokes put me in mind of the Avro Anson

Are those seats made from whicker?

evansb 21st Apr 2015 19:34

Not of British manufacture. Seat backs are of leather and folded flat, possibly on wicker seat bottoms.

Harley Quinn 21st Apr 2015 21:41

Caudron C 440 series?

evansb 22nd Apr 2015 00:14

Not French, but there is a direct connection with cake baking and the mystery aircraft. Yes, baking cakes.

hangarrat101 22nd Apr 2015 09:38

Does Kiplings make exceedingly good aeroplanes as well then?

evansb 22nd Apr 2015 18:56

Wow! What an amazing source of historical factoids this forum provides.

Not a Norseman. The mystery aircraft is not Canadian.

Note the bulkhead and braces. It is a robust airframe. The "cake baker" is now known for frozen pizza.

Rosevidney1 22nd Apr 2015 19:44

I have never had a pizza in my life - frozen or otherwise!

Kitbag 22nd Apr 2015 20:51

Doktor Oetker zweiflugmotorenpizza?

evansb 23rd Apr 2015 15:31

Yes, the aircraft, the Hopfner HA.11/33 was built to Dr. Oetker's specifications. Only one was built, eventually taken over by the Luftwaffe.

Open house.

I was being facetious FFS! This isn't a Wiki wind up is it?

Junkers 388.

Terry Dactil 25th Apr 2015 08:37

Just a bit too easy when the photographers name is watermarked on the photo, as well as having the aircraft identification in the image data.
The more sadistic of us on this forum crop and do other sneaky things to prevent the original photo being easily found on the web.
The photographer has a great website with lots of good photos and information about this aircraft, though.
I found it well worth visiting.
Junkers Ju 388
Thanks. :ok:

TheiC 25th Apr 2015 08:50

Terry,

Nicely put. I used to get a bit hot under the collar during googleimagegate, but in this case I think the cockpit was such an easy spot that the watermark was just a bonus.

OPEN HOUSE, subject to hangarrat's formal confirmation. (I may have something to post but certainly won't have time until this evening at the earliest, to do the necessary obfuscation).

hangarrat101 25th Apr 2015 20:41

I have much to learn! Complete unashamed amateur here! And yes of course, open house to all.

The GPS is of course not an original fitment.

, first ever try, possibly DH86..?

hangarrat101 26th Apr 2015 19:50

From the wide shallow panel, backwards tachometer, windscreen braces and petrol tank, Piper Vagabond?

India Four Two 26th Apr 2015 20:05

aerobelly,

Interesting.

An American single but registered in Europe? Tandem two-seater? Constant speed prop?

Hangarrat gets it in one! Specifically it's this aircraft:

Hangarrat101 has control.

Hi,


Next one,

hangarrat101 27th Apr 2015 17:19

Guessing late '20s early '30s twin. Slightly confused by the German turn and slip when most other bits appear to be in English. No idea but something makes me guess something Dutch?

Kitbag 27th Apr 2015 18:02

What are the levers below the LH yoke for?

rixt 27th Apr 2015 18:27

Hangarrat,


You are correct about the country. To make it a bitt aessier, the year is 1934.

Flying Palm Tree 27th Apr 2015 23:10

What are the levers below the LH yoke for?
 
Espresso machine?

Seriously though, Fokker F8?

evansb 30th Apr 2015 01:00

To put Flying Palm Tree out of the "awaiting a reply" angst, I submit the mystery cockpit just might be a Koolhoven FK.48.

rixt 30th Apr 2015 10:19

Correct, it is the cockpit from the Koolhoven FK 48. Only one FK 48 was built in 1934.

Regards,

Mathieu.

evansb 30th Apr 2015 18:27

Here is the next mystery cockpit:

rixt 30th Apr 2015 18:49

Messerschmitt 323.

evansb 30th Apr 2015 19:20

Correct. :ok: Now it is your turn to post a cockpit.

rixt 1st May 2015 10:28

There he is:

A special trainer for London Bus drivers? ;)

evansb 2nd May 2015 15:30

Martin B-10.

evansb 9th May 2015 21:31

Any guesses?

TheiC 9th May 2015 21:55

The quadrant is very Falco.

So I'll hazard that it is one.

sycamore 9th May 2015 21:56

Trago Sprite...?

TheiC 9th May 2015 22:08

Practavia did a sprite but I don't think Trago did. Anyhow, the mystery machine has retractable wheels (see left side of panel with some arty indicators).

evansb 10th May 2015 00:30

Sorry, not a Falco, nor a Practavia Sprite.

TheiC 10th May 2015 19:56

Ich glaube, das die antigooglebildversucherungschalter in die 'sucherung möglich' position gelassen wurde.
