For me it didn't get much realer than the DHA3 MkII.
Knobs and switches of every antique type scattered all over the place, many almost impossible to see and some even difficult to reach, big fuel selector levers, hydraulic hand pump and selector, big brass vac pump selector and primer selector, a rudder 'bar', a big trim wheel, bias handbrake, huge old gyros, bakelite cockpit lights and rheostats, pathetic tiny windscreen wipers (for the only 'glass' in the cockpit), a CV window you could stick your head out of, a traditional X shaded control wheel, a castoring tail wheel, and it really had that ubiquitous 'old plane' smell that only those who know will know.
Along with the Beaver and Chippie, these were the most evocative 'real' planes that I have been fortunate enough to experience. I have flown bigger noisier and faster ones, but the Drover had a real 'steampunk' feel.
Ahhh memeories, not all of them good, but good to have.
