Thanks Noyade! Open house please.

Since kindly open house, try this one for size.

Meyers MAC 145. Suspicious are the wheel wells protruding into the cabin floor, the high door sills (2 doors), the strut behind the windscreen and a constant speed prop. The position of the main gear is indicating a taildragger.

Quite correct, D26. You have the con.

But please, something with less appallingly ghastly bad taste in upholstery..?

Thanks Russell. Open house please!

Take this for the open house:

[D26]

Real easy

[Self loading bear]

Yes it made flying much easier!
But that was also required as there was no room for a window anymore!

Such a 'Faithful' aeroplane.....

Avro Anson?

Avro 19 to be more accurate.

"Of the period", perhaps! Budd Davisson report: pilot report on Meyers 145

Back to our regular reporting.

Indeed AVRO 19 with one of the first auto pilots.
Not much room for a real pilot left!

Beagle got ahead.

I am sorry, I think the picture is not from an Anson but from a DC-4 who 1947 flew across the Atlantic Ocean on a very early auto pilot. The picture is a screen shot from a movie clip you'll find here:

1944 DC4 completely automatic Atlantic crossing to Prestwick.

I think you are right. My source is probably wrong. I already thought the C19 cabin being quite higher than one would expect from the outside.
Sorry Beagle but I think the helm should go to D26.
You have control!

Hi Bear. I tired to 'draw' the solution out yesterday - and kept thinking the interior wall diameter suggested quite a big aircraft. But I wasn't sure if there was an open doorway to the left?
Nice find D26.
