Sorry not the Night Hawk Aviate1138.
More clues:
I will say the Pemberton-Billing PB 31E has two more sets of wings than the challenge above.
Don't let the confined cockpit fool you into thinking this is a small plane.

You say it has two sets of wings less than the Night Hawk. So it is a biplane possibly with multi-engines. The enclosed cockpit puts it circa 1920-25 perhaps. Judging by writing on the control locks built in the UK/USA? If it has a workbench in the aircraft would indicate possibly a flying boat?
I think it may well be the Short Sarafand.
In fact I am certain it is the Short Sarafand first flew August 1932 and scrapped at Felixstowe in 1936.

Correct

Control is over to you.
I'm jumping up and down because I think I know what it is! But as I 've got nothing to post in exchange, I'll shut up. I must say that I'm continually amazed by the knowledge of obscure cockpits posted in this section.

As Clint says please do not hold back if you know what it is have a go. Someone will always post a challenge if you are unable too. Clint started this great thread some 550 cockpits ago.

Thanks, Cliff & Mel, I wasn't sure of the etiquette. I've had second thoughts about my identification. The transparency framework suggested the Me264 but a little research this afternoon shows otherwise: the control column is cranked from the other side and there's an instrument console just forward of it. So, no cigar for me...
I'm pretty sure it's German, though.

No problem. This one is not a German aircraft, unfortunately the first photograph does not include the panel the following photo is of the panel part of which is in the original photo top right corner.

Not the CASA 2111. I apologise if these shots have led one down the wrong path, hopefully this third photograph will make things clearer. It is the same aircraft type. It was not my intention to mislead.

It is most certainly the Arkangelski Ar2
