Yes, it is a German-built aircraft. If you want to take the easy way, fine.

Many thanks, but I won't. I stumbled on it from the image 'properties' unintentionally. With luck someone will get to it the hard way.

Persevering with the 'hard' way, is it a Roland?

evansb 11th May 2015 19:20

Not a Roland. Here is the actual aircraft from which the cockpit photo was taken:

@ Evansb,


The photo in post #152 is indeed from a Martin B-10.


Regards,


Mathieu.

Something along the lines of the DH50 cabin biplane?

Noyade 12th May 2015 21:36

You're on track there Kitbag! Is is a De Havilland - but not the DH-50...

Kitbag 13th May 2015 10:42

Didn't look deep enough did I?
DH83 Fox Moth (only 6 survivors from 154)

If correct it's going to be OH I'm afraid.

Noyade 13th May 2015 10:55

That's him Kitbag! :)

OPEN HOUSE.

Is that a big round hole in the instrument panel so the Captain can stick his head into the passenger compartment and make his PA? :confused:
(Yeah. I know that looks like the end of a Gosport tube just to the right, but I like my way better).

Kitbag 13th May 2015 23:09

That thought is exactly what made me think of the 'cabin' type aircraft

Kitbag 20th May 2015 04:52

Right then, here's one from 'olden times':

Almost, but not quite...















































Oh all right then, yes it's the Fairey Rotodyne

Another chance missed by UK?
No. The Rotodyne was diabolically noisy. It would never have been allowed to operate from city centres.

Kitbag 21st May 2015 18:40

Moving on from the merits of (allegedly noisy) point to point airport transfers:

Here's a quickie;

Certainly WWII, not particularly liked by its pilots; underpowered and gained an unhappy nickname later on.

sycamore 22nd May 2015 13:45

Brewster Buffalo..?

Kitbag 22nd May 2015 15:25

Not American, I'm afraid, although it's possible the subject aircraft came up against some cold Buffalo

Yakovlev I-30?
