It depends on how you define the question as I have found two possible answers but I'll go with this one:

A British Canberra on the 26th August 1952 when it flew non-stop from Aldergrove, Northern Ireland, to Gander, Newfoundland, and back in 7 hr., 59 min. flying time.

Hi all!

I´ll have to make a real guess here!

I believe It´s a B-26 Marauder cockpit!

Sorry, I did miss the "return" from Dave and had´nt looked in here for quite a while!

Cheers!

Stefan E

I will be away for two weeks now, so I hope I´m not right here!

Might it be a P-39? They have a double door on the Ft. gear.
(EDIT) I retract my guess! I' know I'm wrong!

I thought it might have been as I took a similar photo when I was there earlier in the year.

So here goes with the next question:

Name the aircraft? (and a bonus if you can name the engine)
