I bet landing what looks to be a F111 there was challenging.

Graft an f5 cockpit onto a tu-154 tail to test your indigenous ejection seat? What’s Farsi for red neck?

The aviation world is littered with bizarre hybrids to test concepts quickly and cost effectively. It's good engineering practise - fail fast, fail often, and learn what you can.Originally Posted by Hugh Conway

Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

Lovely and classy. But that seems a really strange place for a winch, on the cabin seat, instead of on deck aft of the other winch.

As I was scrolling down this thread, I recognised the modded B17 picture from its tail alone. But that, Birlinn? What is it?

Experimental Meteor, testing prone pilot possibilities. Not sure how they would arrange an ejection seat!

A shame that the teak cockpit and deck isn't going to look like that for long... unless this boat is going into a museum, inside and protected from the weather. My teak cockpit is 15 years old, and despite extensive care, it just doesn't hold up to the standards of when it was new.

It would just spit the pilot out………
All that teak looks marvellous but I'd be scared to step on board.

Re: Cool cockpit design.
Nice workmanship,but an absence of design coherence.Lots of curves and then they spoil it with a rectangluar box for all the gadgets.I suppose it does duty as an exercise venue for anybody designated for helm duty as they will be obliged to step up onto the seats to get round the wheel.As for that winch in the middle of the sprawling area,why would you do that?
