History: The Handley-Page Cougar B.3A was designed in 1951 as an interceptor and reconnaissance aircraft. It housed a crew of one (later variants housed two or three crew). What was different about the Cougar was that it housed three engines, one in the fuselage and two in pods on either side of the cockpit. The Cougar B.3A was later upgraded to the B.3D, with the C variant being too similar to the A. The Cougar was pulled from active service in 1960.

    @DestinyAviation The Valkyrie is essentially an upgraded B-53, but with four engines, larger wings, and a tail turret. Let me know if you'd like the detailed version of the cockpit (which I'm working on, the yokes turn, it has 8 indicator lights so far, more to come, and an artificial horizon)

    Cool. Do you mind if I'm using your B-53 cockpit in my B-54 Valkyrie?
