Amazing.

Unlikely to guess correctly again, so I can't let this opportunity pass.

Possibly the controls of an airship or blimp.

No, it is a high wing aircraft Mel. The swivel seat is the observers and behind that, the cockpit. Power was provided by a Lycoming 0-290-AZ.

I've really no idea but it is clearly not one that was intended for ruggged work - viz the broken windscreen. The panelling and tube framing also tells me that this is not a robust machine. Maybe wrong! RR ... still thinking...
