What Cockpit? MK V
It is the right answer. This photograph came from another source.

Here's a new one. No Gipsy Majors here:
Mel has it. This one is labelled as a CH-21C, from this site http://www.oc-kahuna.com/airfield.htm about Soc Trang airfield in the south of the Mekong Delta, about 30 mins flying time and 8 hours or so by car and ferry from where I live.

Thanks IndiaFourTwo. That is a great website, that panel had a few more instuments than the CH-12C I am familiar with.
Next Challenge again No Gypsy Majors in sight.

Tiger_mate should enjoy this one.
Now back to Mel's challenge. Small engine instruments - possibly turbine? An apparent piston engine EGT gauge, but no large RPM gauge - possibly piston? Flight instruments look Eastern European and the compass is reminiscent of a PZL compass I had once, but some labels in English. All in all, I'll guess Eastern European, possibly Polish,turbine powered.

Thanks for that IndiaFourTwo. I loved the story of Carl Striver and his first encounter with Tuffyy.

Sorry. Continents away I am afraid this one had a Gas turbine.

I am very new here, and I've gotten pretty puzzled about some aspects of this thread. I've got several questions, but first, do I post them this way?
I'll take stab, Douglas AD?
ooPs,didn't see the gas turbine comment. Cancel that guess.

Welcome to the thread. Do not be afraid to pose questions regarding the challenges. Your question is fine. However I regret to say that it is not the cockpit of a Douglas AD/A-1 Skyraider. You are in the right part of the world though.

Logging off for tonight. Recap:- not European but is North American. Not used by the US Navy is fitted with a Gas Turbine Engine. Back on line tomorrow morning.

All right, I'll have a go though I'm not at all confident.
How about the Mustang resurrected by Piper in the 70's, and powered by a Dart instead of a Merlin?
I believe it was called the Enforcer, and was an attempt at producing a low-cost COIN ( counter-insurgency? ) ground attack aircraft.
