Oxygen "Blinker" gauge on the side panel to the top right of the main panel would indicate possibly an aircraft of late 1940s or early 1950s and perhaps a US training aircraft?

Good morning Mel,
Not a trainer and it's later than that, but as the manufacturer did make training aircraft, perhaps they used something they had on the shelf!!

Hi sycamore,
Yes, yes, yes and yes!
Well spotted, I considered taking that plate off the image, so my initial clue when I launched the challenge will probably hold true

Sycamore, how can you tell from Trevor's photo it's a single engine jet? I need lessons on cockpit identification.

You are too kind Greame, it was just luck trying to match the canopy structure from aircraft in museums.
The aircraft is also known as the Hirsch H-100. I have just found Brian's photo under Hirsch H-100. It is a very interesting aircraft as this other photograph shows.
