Intriguing. Seat rails before the main spar but not a great deal of space between the main spar and the rear spar and bulkhead yet a cabin window either side. I understand it is a twin engined aircraft.
Well done!
The Angel is an improvement on the Evangel twin of the late 1950s it is intended to replace. Over to you.

Not the Short SB5.I apologise if cryptic answer led you astray. I was refering to it being an experimental/test vehicle aircraft.

Not the Bristol 188 either.

It is the cockpit of the Bristol 211. Many will say that the Bristol 221 and the Fairery F.D.2 were the same aircraft, well to a certain extent they were. However, being really pedantic, the Fairey F.D.2 WG774 was redesigned at Filton in 1960 with a lengthened body, by 1.8m, a slender ogee wing. New instrumentation was installed. It first flew in its rebuilt form on the 1st May 1964.
So, pedantically speaking, you have control, although should you wish paulc can take it as the subject aircraft kept it's registration WG774.
