Loose hanging wiring, can't be a FAR/CS 23 certified aircraft.

Its design does predate FAR/CS 23... if that helps.

New -build WACO...?

Not a Waco, not built recently either.

Is this a parasol wing and not a biplane?
Davis D-1 could be a candidate?

It is a biplane.

A Great Lakes 2T-1A? I can’t match it exactly but the strut arrangement looks close.

There's a reason you can't match it Justin.... it's not a Great Lakes Trainer ;)

I get the feeling that a hint might be appreciated.... there is a link to a WWII bomber.

Depends if it`s one of `ours`...one of `theirs,over there`,one of the `others`,or the `other others way over there`,or even `down there`.....?

I somehow figured that, as the last guesses were all US types, most people would be looking in this direction anyway.

OK, so what do we know?

Biplane, probably US
Has link to a WW2 Bomber
It's aerobatic (g-meter)
Fixed pitch prop.
Supercharged if I am not mistaken (Gauge calibrated in Atm at 10 o'clock from the compass) showing ambient pressure and scaled poorly for a normally aspirated engine.
Two guages apparently both reading temp 'F' up to 200'. One is next to what I take to be the the oil press gauge (why the strange scale markings - 32 and 212?) so the other - presumably - what else but water temp - so it's possibly water cooled? Then why a CHT gauge too?
Is the front part of the screen glazed at all, or just has a high coaming?

As far as I know it's not a supercharged engine.

Consolidated /Fleet ?? ,later linked to Brewster...mainly radials,occasional Gipsy Majors...

As there is usually a Dutch link in Jelle’s challenges,
I will go for the
Curtiss / Travel Air 2000
aka Wichita Fokker

I'm sorry SLB, the Dutch link was somewhere else... I'm going to hand the reins to sycamore for concluding that it's a Fleet. Originally designed as the Consolidated 'Husky Jr.' in 1928, the model was later renamed in honour of Consolidated president Ruben Fleet (linked to Consolidated and their B-24, it was a tenuous one...). This particular example of a Fleet model 7 is based at Lelystad, one of only two in Europe, with the Early Birds foundation: Fleet 7 ? Order book ´Doen´

Thanks J,;afraid it`ll be OH..
Of note,maybe,is the front track-rod `loop` on the u/c...I don`t see any sort of oleo/bungee/damper arrangement,so it must be pretty rigid....unless anyone knows different....easy to groundloop...?

I don't know about the undercarriage, perhaps the loop indicates some sort of suspension internal to the fuselage that needs that much play around the other strut. When I dug the cockpit photo out of my files, I didn't realise that it had just emerged from an engine overhaul and general refurbishment just weeks ago.

As it is OH, I hope you won't mind me posting one I don't know the answer to. It is a screenshot from an episode of QI and I am curious as to what it is from

From the pattern of the cockpit windows and 4 throttles, I'll say DC-6 or DC-7 ?

Thank you. I was confused by what appear to be glazing panels behind the glare shield but are probably just reflections. Wide cockpit.
Back to OH

What about a DC6B?

B1,

Could be. It's been 50 years since I flew the -6B and didn't fly the DC-7. My recollection of details just might be a little fuzzy by now. But the fwd end of the overhead isn't what I think I remember it looking like. I'm always prepared to be wrong...and try to stay good at it with steady practice. Maybe Spooky2 will come along and offer his opinion .

Does this count as a What cockpit or should I post in Name that Flying machine?

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f8c694149.jpeg

European? Whoever built it obviously had shares in the wire business.............

de Havilland Moth coupe?

There were several Moths.
I think a type number is required.

The dH.60 was the one I had in mind, but I could be wrong.... the cowling points to a Cirrus or Gipsy I engine.

I'd have said DH60G (Gipsy Moth) coupé and it does all match except there is an exhaust pipe alongside the cockpit which in this case we have not got.

I also think this is a DH-60G Gipsy Moth Coupe.
These have also been built without the exhaust pipe along the side.

I did only determine the type after I posted the challenge.
The photos is tagged Stag Lane January 1929
Yesterday i found this picture

I think Jelle can take the lead?

Thanks! Let's make it open house, I don't have a suitable challenge available right now.

Lets try this....

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....db313cb9a8.jpg

Must haven been cosy so close side-by-side!!

Smaller people in those far off days Bear - and not everyone is built to Dutch standards!

Regretfully I can only find a single picture of the cockpit - which isn't surprising given the history - it's pre WW2 of course

A bit like an Italian bomber?

The Glazing reminds me of a Stinson Trimotor, but I'm not sure it's a three-engined type.

Go to `NTFM ,P94,#1876......

OH if correct....

Correct - the General Aircraft ST-18 Croydon - I never got to post the cockpit in the What plane thread and it was pity to see it go to waste ;)
Sycamore has called OH

Have we gone through all cockpits already?
This one to prevent the thread to drift to the second forum page.

If you might find the answer shortly but tend to declare open house,
please wait 24hrs before replying. This in order not to spoil the search for others around the globe.
