Guess the cockpit! **Here's another One!**

I don't think it's a turbo-prop. I believe it has piston engines. All the Douglas piston aircraft after the DC-3 had 4 engines, I think.

Here are some clues :

1.) Engines - 18 cylinder Pratt- Whitney R-2800

2.) It has a pressurised cabin

and here is an extra image to help

those were just the clues i needed...! It's not the Lockheed Ventura is it?

[Martyn 9]

Nope, not the Lockheed Ventura...similar though

Nope, not the Lockheed Ventura...similar though

then it might be the PV-2 harpoon...or its earlier variants the B-34 'Lexington' or B-37

[Martyn 9]

As far as I am aware, its not a variant of the Lockheed Ventura

Hmm, so wikipedia could bee wrong?

As far as this (and other) articles go, there aren't any other aircraft that have a similar stabiliser setup as pictured in your last image and use the R2800 P&W's....

so returning to my last post, was it any of them listed???

[Martyn 9]

Either you or I am getting confused, I mean that the aircraft I am posting up is not a variant of the Ventura. Then again, this aircraft does look similar, so it may be a variant. Bear in mind that the wiki article says,'A partial list of aircraft that were powered by the R-2800.... '

To answer your question, its not any of the aircraft you listed.

probably me then that's confused, however here's the (full) list of aircraft sporting the P&W R2800 'double wasp' engines, stright from the mfr's website.... does your aircraft feature in the list?

[Martyn 9]

Im not sure, it may have a model number that I am unaware of.

I can confirm that the aircraft definitely has P&W R2800 engines, I am 100% sure of that.

I have read numerous articles, including the manufacturers site, and it confirms this too

milton shupe's old bird - my lord i feel such a plonker for missing that! :sadblinky: and it seems that this bird isnt listed by P&W as carrying the R2800's... also, its very similar to the PV-1 in my eyes... oh well, i'll have to try for the next one :???:
