Belatedly, here's my offering.

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.

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......

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!

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

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

Thanks RiŠardo. 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.

I'm surprised it doesn't have ash trays.

Probably, but I'm surprised that a pig can smell anything - over the smell
of .... pig.
