Is it a FMA Ae. C.1? I'll assume that a panel has been removed for inspection in the bottom right of the cockpit. I initially thought it might be an observation window, as the Ae. M.B.1 and M.S.1 have them in that location, but I could not justify any other part of the cockpit to the M.B.1./M.S.1.

It is the right answer. Regarding the missing panel you are most probably correct.

evansb's challenge
Prototype first flew in 1961, production began in 1963, just under thirty were built, and over a dozen are still airworthy. It is not an airship.

Please someone keep this rolling for me. If I can get taught how to submit pictures and find a current list of those that have been done, I should be able to hold up my end. Can someone help me out?

Woods, take a look at this link mate, BOAC has posted loads of helpful stuff. If you need any more help, PM me... There's a list of previous cockpits a few pages back on this thread I think...
Good challenge and great answer. Interesting aeroplane... looks like a mini Islander with some seaplane chucked in...

A friend of mine got his twin engine rating in a Lancer. With full fuel and two normal weight adults on board, the aircraft exceeded its maximum take-off weight. 
In the event of an engine failure, the procedure was to pull the power on the good engine and slow the aircraft to the point where the propeller of the failed engine stopped windmilling. This was the only way the aircraft would fly on one engine. Still in all, it was a cheap way to build twin time.

I'll step in for Woods, and I'll step out again if needs be.
It may look hard, but I think there's enough info there to narrow it down quite rapidly

Well Mel,
All I can say is "poop", because you're spot on. The numbers are genuine, by the way, the shot was taken in flight.

Mel, was the aircraft being restored when the photo was taken? Also, it appears that the joystick's aft movement is restricted by the wood plate on the floor.
