Down to Gainsey I think, without his suggestion I wouldn't have been any the wiser even if I could have seen the pic - which I can now! Complete guess on my part!

Anyway, I bet he's got some intriguing shots up his sleeve!

Thanks Treaders, that row of switches was nagging me, probably for all the test gear.

I'll find something later if anyone would like to step in meantime?

Just a guess - E2B Hawkeye?
Or was I reading the photo properties wrong?

Sorry. I feel a bit of a fraud now.
I wish I had a snap to offer, but I'm a helicopter ride & long drive away from my home PC, so back to you guys.

Full marks! Herald it is. Incidentally, the instrument panel is from Handley Page Herald 100 G-APWA, the Museum of Berkshire Aviation- and it looks to be a first class job.

An 124?


Curtained doorway under centre console makes me suspect a double decker of some sort.

Looks like a TU142M to me??????????

.........and if it isnt, it is something with an identical cockpit!

No central thottle quadrant is an interesting concept of a 4 engined aircraft. You would need hands like a Russian, but then again................

(Right click & "properties" for credits)

TU-95s do have a (communal) throttle quadrant in the centre.

Tarnished takes the trophy, Tu-95.

(Not being pedantic but I have no idea what a Tu-142 cockpit looks like).
