Having looked around for a cutaway drawing of the Alouette III, I can only find this

which is a very poor reproduction from Airplane Issue 142. Maybe the back part of the frame also belongs to the Alouette III, behind the cabin glazing. Any helicopter experts out there who can advise?
It is the cockpit frame of an Alouette III, number 1477, of the Pakistan Air Force. I had not noticed the stencil on the front, or I would have masked it. I just enlarged the original photo and it does read “III”. I am not sure about the bit of frame behind it. I apologise if there was some confusion about that. Maybe someone will recognise it.
I think pagen01 wins as he was the first to say Alouette III.
No. Any advance on II?
Which Alouette?
Yes please.
PS you have restored my self confidence.
My silence was due to the fact that I couldn’t understand why you said what was fairly obviously a B206 (Bassett maybe) was not. I am sure it is! Maybe I can find out which one.
Also, when I clicked on the photo to get it bigger, I got to a “private” Flickr page, so could you post a higher resolution version? Thanks.
In the meantime, as I like giving you all easy ones, and not ones copied from an encyclopedia (although that is very instructive), try this wreck. Let’s see if the record for fast solutions is broken!

Another twin from Bristols of about the same era. No invasion stripes because it never took part in any invasion.
Beaufort A9-13 at Essendon 1987.

Beagle 206
I said it would only be minutes! This is TX183/G-BSMF, in the Al Mahatta Museum in Sharjah.
Go ahead, mon ami.
Nobody “wanted it tonight” so my turn now.
We have recently had an “inside the fuselage” post from tdl, and Avion has tried some wrecks. A while ago we asked about ways to make the thread a bit different, so I hope you let me try an “inside” shot. I shall start with an easy one which should last a few minutes, if as long.
Exact mark please!

Sadly not available on iPlayer outside the UK
No big deal Ancien. At least we got to see that nice photo, which I have seen elsewhere too.
I have found a Michel Verez, a transport contrator at Valenciennes. He might have been the owner of F-BEBX. That is not far from the Belgian border, so I assume he sold it to someone over there and it finally got to its resting place in Bruges.
Is this Nord 1203 in the same place in Bruges as the ex-Millom Whirlwind XM660?
Also one near the “Rainbow Sheikh’s” museum in the Abu Dhabi desert.
