Modern IFR suite including a GPS in the centre. WWII appearance otherwise, and twin throttles would suggest DC3 type aeroplane. Very curved superstructure around the glazing, and gut feeling that its a taildragger. Lower glazing unusual.
My guess is that it is a:
C46 Commando.
PS
Now I am sure it is!

Without cheating I was going to suggest a Catalina... but now I'm angling towards Mosquito?

Taken through the entrance door of a Mosquito at the Mosquito Air Museum, I reckon that its over to: treadigraph for the next one.
Well done CoodaShooda, but treaders got there first. I can see this thread getting >very< difficult very soon.

Oh, good guess...
Bu@@er, can't see BEagle's (is it a Pup or a Basset - or a Vulcan!) - I'll be able to when I get home.
In the meantime I'll suss out a pic that's somewhere in my archive.

Hmmm, don't think it's a P-38 (first oneI thought of too) 'cos the control column comes out otf the floor in those...
Vulcan - nope - joystick instead of a yoke
Grumman f7f Tigercat?

The Mosquito wasn't too hard, I've taken that exact same photograph recently. No clue about BEagle's photo though. It suggests something military and not too old, but I truly don't know.
