How about the Sopwith Atlantic then.
Ahhh....there ya go Terry - well done mate. Over to you. :)

Sopwith Atlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terry Dactil 25th May 2015 09:59

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.

(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'.

Terry Dactil 25th May 2015 17:36

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.

TheiC 25th May 2015 18:07

Apologies, I thought I had something but alas no.

Therefore, OPEN HOUSE.

oldpax 26th May 2015 00:34

Easy one!

Terry Dactil 27th May 2015 04:29

Well, someone's got to say it!
The rear cockpit of a a very decrepit DH-82 Tiger Moth?

oldpax 27th May 2015 09:57

Very decrepit indeed!!
 
Thai air force museum.Other cockpit full of candy wrappers etc!!
Over to you .

Terry Dactil 27th May 2015 10:38

Yes. It's very sad when you have memories of flying in ones that looked more like this.

Nothing handy right now, so OPEN HOUSE.

oldpax 28th May 2015 12:17

Bit blurred.

Saab 29 Tunnan?

India Four Two 28th May 2015 19:56

It looks American to me.

Noyade 28th May 2015 22:21

SAAB
 

Saab 29 Tunnan?
Interesting choice Kitbag, so I ran with it. :) Didn't find the Tunnan cockpit illustrated - but the J21A was there...

oldpax 29th May 2015 00:10

J21 it is!!
 
Looks like you buy the same magazine I do!!

Noyade 29th May 2015 03:50

Thanks oldpax - but Kitbag deserves the credit for that one. So, over to Kitbag, or open house.

Cheers.

Kitbag 29th May 2015 04:47

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.

Kitbag 21st Jun 2015 18:50

Right then, another go

Kitbag 21st Jun 2015 21:15

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

Kitbag 21st Jun 2015 21:42

Much closer, but not the Nick.

Noyade 22nd Jun 2015 09:37

G'day Kitbag.

Much closer, but not the Nick.
Found a PDF on Japanese cockpits - this looks similar, the Mitsubishi Ki-46 Dinah II?

http://i61.tinypic.com/ml2ut2.jpg

Kitbag 22nd Jun 2015 10:19

Much betterer, the Cosford example is the only known survivor.

It is the Dinah, YHC

Noyade 22nd Jun 2015 10:43


Much betterer, the Cosford example is the only known survivor.
Ah, my error - should be the Dinah III then? Thanks.

Another Jap Cockpit Cutaway in return then...

Kitbag 22nd Jun 2015 13:21

Nakajima B6 Tenzan ?

Kitbag 22nd Jun 2015 14:08

Nope, not Nakajima; it's a Mitsubishi Ki51

Noyade 22nd Jun 2015 21:28


it's a Mitsubishi Ki51
Nicely done Kitbag! Back to you sir...

Kitbag 22nd Jun 2015 22:31

TVM.
No Hinomaru on this one.

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.

Kitbag 23rd Jun 2015 04:22

Dunno about prototype, but certainly given as NA Vigilante..

YHC

evansb 23rd Jun 2015 19:16

Thank you. Here is the next mystery cockpit:

evansb 25th Jun 2015 08:12

Nary a single reply within the last H24. A clue will be forthcoming at approximately 1900Z (UTC).

Kitbag 25th Jun 2015 14:26

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.

evansb 25th Jun 2015 16:23

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

Kitbag 25th Jun 2015 18:57

Thinking it must be the Tu22 Blinder, then.

evansb 25th Jun 2015 20:19

Not the TU-22, but very close.

Noyade 25th Jun 2015 23:31


Not the TU-22, but very close.
I was thinking Backfin, but wiki says that was a 3-seater > so, maybe Fiddler?

evansb 25th Jun 2015 23:47

Yes, the Tupolev TU-128 interceptor. :ok: The largest interceptor ever to enter serial production.


Your turn.

Noyade 26th Jun 2015 11:58

Thanks for the clues Brian.

Kitbag 26th Jun 2015 14:25

Something like the Aermacchi 346?

Cows getting bigger 26th Jun 2015 15:32

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.

Kitbag 26th Jun 2015 16:40

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.
