What Cockpit ?
Looks like German WW1 lozenge pattern camoflage to the left of the nose so is it a Fokker DR-1 Eindekker?

L&S - wrong control grip for an Eindekker.
There's no MG triggers, but it looks like there is a front cockpit or observer position, so it's either a trainer or the rear cockpit of an observer / bomber type.

As 682al stated.
DE HAVILLAND DH.93 DON - The De Havilland 93 Don was designed to Specification T.6/36 as an advanced trainer mounting a manually-operated dorsal turret in addition to accommodation for two pilots and a radio operator trainee. Prototype flown June 1937 with 525 hp Gipsy King I and 50 production aircraft built (20 as spare airframes without engines) in communications role without turrets after official requirements changed. Served with No 24 Sqn and numerous Station Flights through-out UK until early 1939, but all had been grounded for use as instructional airframes by the time the war began.

Quite a correspondence... Saab's the nearest. I've never had a peek into the RE8 at Duxford, but would imagine it to be about the same or more equipped if anything, though the engine instrumentation would be different - clue. 682al has the nationality.
Would anyone care to bet that Cringe doesn't have a photograph of the innards of a DH 93 ?
