Close enough, Brian! Good job. You have control!

This particular aircraft is the Curtiss Hawk 75, which was sold overseas but also eventually emerged as the P-36 in the US despite losing the original contract to the Seversky P-35. The Hawk 75 and P-36 cockpits were doubtless virtually identical.

This is G-CCVH at Duxford a few years ago. I assume the paint scheme is a tribute to the many French Air Force Hawk 75s that Britain inherited from the French in early WWII.
