Is it a motor glider?
Perhaps Germany?

No and no.

I have looked at English trainers
and French I could not find a cockpit photo of the Sipa s 100.
so that is my last guess.
I think we (or am I the only one?) need some clues.

You're pretty close if you're looking at English trainers. It's a jet-powered one.

Is it an early mark of Jet Provost? A T1?

Answering my own question: don’t think it’s the Jet Provost but possibly the Miles Student?

oncemorealoft is the winner of a well deserved pat on the back. The Miles M.100 Student is correct.

Thank you! To be honest, there aren’t many British jet trainers of that era it could be. Open House please as I’m unable to upload images arm.

Well deserved for OMA.
I did look at the Miles Student but could not find a cockpit photo.
And although not experimental only one prototype built.
Was that fully certified? Or flying in the experimental class?

Seeing as it was sold on and operated as a private aircraft, I assumed that it was fully certified. I did have my doubts when I answered that question, so apologies if I mislead you there.
The fact that there are hardly any cockpit photos online made this an excellent subject ;)

Great challenge, Jhieminga.

I found this picture after OMA had identified it. The keel beam and the stick are very distinctive.

It's in the Berkshire Museum of Aviation at Woodley, but apparently more complete now.

The photo I used (cropped slightly) came from this page with restoration photos: https://museumofberkshireaviation.co...estoration.htm
The page about the aircraft shows it to be almost complete: https://museumofberkshireaviation.co...ts/student.htm

If no-one else has anything, I found a photo I took a couple of years ago:

This should be easier to solve than the Miles Student.

Is it the Eclipse 500? One of the Very Light Jets.

It is indeed, this one to be precise: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/7917608

Your controls oncemorealoft.

Don’t think we have had this one before.

Beechcraft Starship? OH if correct.

Well done, J. Open House it is.

It featured short in February but was recalled as the Starship1 logo was not blacked-out.

That was my bad!

The 'flap/fwd wing' switch behind the condition levers is a dead giveaway for this type. ;)

To keep things going, and as it’s Open House, here is a new challenge. 20 were made and it has an interesting background and a link (obscure) to Ford motors.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....de6b465db.jpeg

Built by Convair?

Nope! :) No more clues yet.

May be a clue is needed? This was a European aircraft from a well known company.

Fokker F-25 Promotor.

evansb has it. There’s an interesting story behind the aircraft:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_F.25#/search

“The F.25 was based upon the design of the Difoga 421 aircraft, home-built and -designed secretly during World War II by Frits Diepen, a Ford garage owner from Tilburg, the Netherlands. His intention was to escape from German-occupied Europe to Britain using this aircraft that was powered by a Ford V-8.”

Nice challenge!

Mr Diepen later founded aircraft part supplier
Avio-Diepen.
Now Proponent.
One of the largest independent parts suppliers.
With 9 distribution centers worldwide.

Thank you. I am not allowed to post URLs until I have at least 10 posts. It is OPEN HOUSE.

Nice challenge, I never knew that the F-25 had controls on one side only.
This is the popular story, but it is incorrect unfortunately. It was built using available materials only, but there was nothing secret about it. A model was tested in the NLR windtunnel in Amsterdam and the report about this was published. The company applied for both a registration and a certificate of airworthiness through the normal channels in 1942. Due to 'the current circumstances' this could not be accommodated, and because of this the application as well as the already paid costs were returned. The purpose of designing and building the aircraft was purely commercial.
In Dutch only, but see here for the evidence (includes a lot of photos of the aircraft as well): https://www.hdekker.info/DIVERSEN/Difoga%20421.htm

As we have Still open house:
Does anybody recognize this?
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....8e1b31fa0.jpeg

A simulator? 😉

Yes that photo was of a simulator
Here is another one of a simulator of the same type aircraft

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....121a079cf.jpeg

Northrop F-20...?

I am sorry but not an F-20.
About a decade later

An Atlas Cheetah C appears to fit the bill. Specifically a SAAF simulator at AFB Makhado ;)

Over to you Jelle
The last is the Cheetah C simulator and
the first photo was of the Cheetah D simulator

It took a bit of searching, but we got there in the end!
Here's another challenge:

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....950ee26624.jpg

Looks like the tandem backseat?
Motorglider?

Not a motorglider.
