Bristol Beaufighter ?

Indeed: the RAAF Beaufighter at Moorabbin

Very droll, SLB ;)

Dad was shot down when a bunch of 109s used him for target practice over the Aegean Sea after his newly delivered Beau didn't produce enough power to join his squadron mates as they took the sensible option and fled from the more nimble fighters. After losing an engine Dad successfully ditched, but was some depth before he thought to undo his seat belt and get out through the overhead escape hatch. 24 hours later he and his observer (Sgt Bob Pritchard) were picked up an Arado floatplane and taken prisoner with the words 'for you, the war is over'. Shot down 10th November 1943 age 21, picked up on the 11th: swapped places with a Fusilier so he could get out on work parties and escape, recaptured, etc and finally got away to the US Army early in 1945.

The spin to the photo was it was his first time in a Beaufighter since being shot down; and the date (unintentionally) was 10th November 2015.

A big applause to your dad and his fellow camarades!!!!

Is this an American military type?

Looks like the instructors cockpit in a Stearman(front),or a BT-13(back),or something similar...

I'm probably off by a mile, but will give this a go: Fairchild PT-19.

Boeing F4B / P-12.

Open house (I've got a picture for What Aerodrome but not What Cockpit).

C2j

C2j gets the hit with the Boeing F4B / P-12.

He has called OH.

It's gone awfully quiet here.... no thoughts on this one?

Well, I found it yesterday but all the threads are very slow.

I wonder if people are just losing interest.

I am wondering what those pipes are left and right

You'd think that people would have plenty of time to work out puzzles like these, now that everyone is at home, either with a virus or running from it.

No clue about the pipes either I'm afraid...

This image is so small that it is beyond difficult to identify any worthwhile features.

If there is any way to give us a better photo? Then there may be more interest.

Admittedly it is somewhat small but in such instances I simply save and enlarge it.

I think it's the Grumman Skyrocket but I'm not certain.

It was the only image that I could find, but dook has cracked it, so he can pick a larger image for the next challenge.

This photo is somewhat easier to decipher.

It is possible that the pipes are heating ducts.

I shall call OH.

Just following on from that comment, here's a video of the development of the unmanned K Max :ok:

2 days open house.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c50be5276.jpeg

Skyship which?
600?

I didn't know you could fly Bear.

1) it is not a skyship
2) that’s not me

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2c810a979.jpeg
3) This is not me either

That's the Airlander Airship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid...4/Airlander_10
Never saw it flying from Cardington, unfortunately.

It is indeed the Airlander 10.
Unfortunately it had an open house cockpit for some time.
What a long way has the airship development come since ....
Yes, since when?
But also still troubled with very large and real problems.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....65a589447e.png

That chap does part-time on the Blackpool Tower Ballroom organ......

And then to think that the Airlander was first marketed as unmanned.
The pilot console was added upon request of possible future buyers.

Let's try the more modern stuff this time.

It has levers for
Flaps
Mixture
Propeller pitch
single or tandem seat.
Smoking not allowed so this aircraft is not private property????

Also, likely to have
Fuel Injection - “Alternate Air” handle on right lower panel
Retractable Landing Gear - Little silver knob ahead of Power Controls & “EMER LG HANDLE” placard, by base of stick

Searching single propeller tandem seat fuel injection gives the
2-person VLA
but also very complete aircraft
Blackshape Gabriel

Self loading bear has it with the Blackshape Gabriél.

Wow, waht a terrific looker that is!
Never heard of it before-

Thanks Jelle,

Blackshape Prime is also magnificent!

Now the new definition of the word spacious:

This is the beautiful but deadly Latecoere 631 flying boat from France. Interesting video here:

Thanks for the video OMA.
indeed the Latecoere 631.
The thread is yours.

I’m going to have to declare OH. I’d saved a couple of interesting cockpit photos for such eventualities - but now can’t remember what they are!

That is no problem.
Happens to me as well.
You just check the answers which are given!

Don't you chaps simply use copies ?
