I have an interior photo of a Viking that clearly shows the spar passing through the main cabin.

I am still not sure what it is from these posts:confused:

Yes, you’re right about the spar I’ve just checked the Varsity AP.

It’s a FW200

Fair points, John Aeroclub and Atcham Tower, so back to the drawing board.
Google search of Fw-200 cabin produced this, seemingly from a recent Berlin show – presumably someone’s recreation. Looks possible, with the step up over the spar and the door offset to the right.
I suspect the original pictures been taken from quite low down rather than eye level, which makes the interior look bigger than it really is.
Apologies if I’ve trampled on anyone’s copyright, BTW.

I compared Scouse’s door with the original photo, and then I remembered a flight article and I found the same photo on page 625 of Flight Dec 23 1937.

LA255 in the same time period.

Thanks Mark great picture!
That canopy looks quite bulbous compared to other marks doesnt it?

I would suspect it might have been the 21 which came from South Marston via RAF Locking. (LA198?) “Our” Mk.21 LA255 was at Wittering throughout the 70’s.

Here’s a slightly earlier one…

Having just been fished out of the Euphrates. One of many pics from this era in my collection,

Thanks again DGH, surely one can’t ask for more when it coms to info on a one off British civil design.

That’s the Aerocar Major, there was also a Minor which wasn’t completed.

Zulu shield endplates

Another photo from the “box of delights” I have credited to Air lingus as it’s in my old 86 file and much is sourced from AL. As you see Air Lingus 86’s used the end plates but I believe they came about when the Aussies kicked up a fuss following several accidents.
