How about the Sopwith Atlantic then. Sopwith Atlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
OK. A bit more nostalgia then.
The prototype of this aircraft first flew more than 60 years ago. And for extra points I want to know the correct name of the manufacturer of this particular (a later model in the series ) aircraft. http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/...psa2mmg9qh.jpg (Hooray: I managed to stop Google images finding this image) |
Well, it's XH558 as was, G-VLCN as is, and the CAA's database has it as manufactured by 'AV Roe and Co Ltd' but I suspect the answer you're looking for is 'Hawker Siddeley'.
|
That's it.
As Avro was absorbed in the mergers in 1963, to be pedantic it became a Hawker Siddlely Vulcan. I doubt many use that name though. Well done. You have control sir. (Image is a screenshot from the documentary on the Falklands attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=X2Yl8ntVS-4) |
Apologies, I thought I had something but alas no.
Therefore, OPEN HOUSE. |
Easy one!
|
Well, someone's got to say it!
The rear cockpit of a a very decrepit DH-82 Tiger Moth? |
Very decrepit indeed!!
Thai air force museum.Other cockpit full of candy wrappers etc!!
Over to you . |
Yes. It's very sad when you have memories of flying in ones that looked more like this.
http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/...psrh0khozn.jpg Nothing handy right now, so OPEN HOUSE. |
Bit blurred.

Saab 29 Tunnan?
|
It looks American to me.
|
SAAB

J21 it is!!
Looks like you buy the same magazine I do!!
|
Thanks oldpax - but Kitbag deserves the credit for that one. So, over to Kitbag, or open house.
Cheers. |
Thank you, Noyade, that is very generous of you. TBH that was just a punt. Nothing readily to hand just yet, it being silly o'clock in the morning here. Open House.
|
|
Certainly a twin, a lot more elegant looking, IMHO, than the Beaufighter, with a similar crew disposition, but nowhere near as heavily armed. Not British, despite how the gauges may appear
|
Much closer, but not the Nick.
|
G'day Kitbag.
Much closer, but not the Nick. http://i61.tinypic.com/ml2ut2.jpg |
Much betterer, the Cosford example is the only known survivor.
It is the Dinah, YHC |
Much betterer, the Cosford example is the only known survivor. Another Jap Cockpit Cutaway in return then... http://i59.tinypic.com/fpc9op.jpg |
Nakajima B6 Tenzan ?
|
Nope, not Nakajima; it's a Mitsubishi Ki51
|
it's a Mitsubishi Ki51 |

Given the lack of a HUD, is it the prototype North American YA-5C Vigilante?
Note the mechanical wind-up stop-watch, installed just right of centre, mid-panel. How quaint. |
Dunno about prototype, but certainly given as NA Vigilante..
YHC |
Thank you. Here is the next mystery cockpit:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/...s_and_Bars.jpg |
Nary a single reply within the last H24. A clue will be forthcoming at approximately 1900Z (UTC).
|
I don't know, it's doing my swede no good. I'm guessing late WWII twin prop job, maybe some sort of fast light bomber from US but can't find anything close.
|
Not American, not a prop job. More Vigilante like than U-2 like.
Here is the back seat: http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/..._back_seat.jpg |
Thinking it must be the Tu22 Blinder, then.
|
Not the TU-22, but very close.
|
Not the TU-22, but very close. |
Yes, the Tupolev TU-128 interceptor. :ok: The largest interceptor ever to enter serial production.
Your turn. |
|
Something like the Aermacchi 346?
|
kitbag, good idea and it's made me think outside the box (the blue interior was making me think Russia). I thought I had seen those seats somewhere - one of the SAAB range, probably some form of late serial/upgraded Viggen.
|
Dagnabbit CGB, I think you're spot on, although I can't find an exact match the warning panels either side of the drivers knees and the clip on the glare shield do it for me. Hopefully Noyade is an early riser.
