My brain is thoroughly racked and I don't have time to do the research at the moment, so what is it? I know several aircraft it isn't. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! I'm thinking Comet or Caravelle (or something starting with 'C' ) 4 seat cockpit with cup holders? I somehow doubt either of those two "C's" are likely candidates. Hmmmm...... -- Regards, Savageduck |

HI Peter, Dave's on track with this one, it's a Comet 4 cockpit, based at the de Havilland Museum. Comment about the Caravell is interesting, as according to Wikipedia: "Sud's design licensed several fuselage features from de Havilland, a company Sud had dealings with for several earlier designs. The nose area and cockpit layout were both taken directly from the de Havilland Comet". Plus, of course, they both used Rolls Royce Avon engines. Aah! -- Regards, Savageduck |

Well, it was the latest version of the Comet, in terms of a civil airliner

Here's another view. Yes, it's almost too luxurious to be real.

I'd gone back as far as the VC10, but then a plate of spag bol and having to work intervened. Don't know why I didn't think of the Comet. It was obviously lot neater on the outside than on the inside. I've got a photo somewhere of John Cunningham with the crew of Canopus standing in front of the aircraft at Hatfield during one of the last Open Days there. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |

news:2011030313214451816-savageduck1@REMOVESPAMmecom... 4 seat cockpit with cup holders? Shades of "Fate is the Hunter" I'm surprised it doesn't have ash trays. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |
