Thank you Brian. That really was a big aeroplane, or are those Frenchmen all very short.
Here is the next one. I should say right from the start that this is the cockpit of a projected aircraft.

Graeme.
Sorry for the delay. This project was German, however not the Ta-183 but it was a forerunner of the Ta-183 project. I am not certain if Kurt Tank had anything to do with the design.

That is the one:-
The Focke Wulf Project Flitzer.
By the autumn of 1944 the development of P. VII and sub-assemblies were completed, the first prototype was ready for flight. But the German Reich Aviation Ministry considered that the projected speed of the aircraft would not meet their requirements also the cost in materials and construction was too expensive. As it was considered that insufficient time and money was available to introduce modifications Focke-Wulf had no other choice but to cancel the project.
You have control Graeme.

Thanks Mel. Sycamore gave me the idea.
Couldn't find this on your list mate but it is a version of sorts of one that is so I not sure if there were many cockpit changes. I'm interested to find out what the bloke at bottom right is doing. Sick or some sort of radar-scope?
