What Cockpit? MK VI
Planegill: It is indeed the IAI Arava 
well done.
A strange but effective configuration which must owe something to the Nord Noratlas operated by the IDF??
The Antipodes has control.

Cub2jets is indeed correct, the Ahrens AR404. (Darn, though it might have lasted a bit longer than that!)
The 4-engined commuter project built by the company that made an art form out of getting Government subsidies to set up an aircraft manufacturing business.

Planegill,
Oddly enough the only thing I remotely recognised in the picture was the yoke! 7 unreadable and seemingly identical instruments in a 4 engine plane is certainly a head scratcher!
On to the next challenge. So this doesn't drag into next year
, a couple of clues are in order. This aircraft was in serial production (no obscure one off) and the company is still in business today.

evansb is correct!
Northrop A-17 Nomad.
Seems that there is less and less participation on this thread, unfortunately. Hopefully it is just a passing phase!

Nah,not enough levers to pull/push,knobs to twist,instruments to look at,keep the scan active; just a bunch of TVs to watch CNN/FOX on,no ADFs to twiddle,and I hope that`s not a HUD in the middle.....get a real man`s cockpit,where you can smell the leather,oil,hyd,get oil under your fingernails,if you`ve any left after checking under the cowlings.....bunch of Boy Scouts !!
The cockpit is rather Spartan though !
