What Cockpit? MK VI
Aeronca Model 9 Arrow ??
Commiserations if it isn't, but the framing seems to match, right down to the door-knob?

SincoTC,
YES!! The Aeronca Model 9 Arrow. The stage is yours...
Here is another picture...with not one but THREE lovlies to distract your attention from a rather unimaginative airplane design that never got beyond prototype stage.

Thanks for brightening up the thread C2j 
!!
Love to stop and play, (with a new cockpit of course
, they probably lasted better than the airplane, but they would be older then me now!!!!), but I'm just getting ready for an early start at work, So it'll have to be an Open House.

As promised and like Douglas MacArthur, I have returned (and so have the Americans I see )!
It is in fact a Boeing B-50, we have had a B-29, I did check and found them very similar, but there were detail differcences and it wasn't on the list, so well done con-pilot
!
con-pilot has declared Open House

Here is a clue:
It is the Alexander Eaglerock Bullet. An advanced high-speed retractable gear cabin monoplane. Alexander Eaglerock was, for a brief time from 1928 to 1929, the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. Art Mooney got his start by assisting in the design of the Bullet. Mr. Bellanca was inspired by the design, as can be seen in his Cruisair model.

Curtiss P6E.

Mods,
By the by, how would one look in the thread "What Cockpit V" or such earlier thread?

Evening C2j,
Sorry for the delay, hope I catch you before
, I went to bed due to an early start that's now arrived !
Well, waddya know, so I did 
!!! Not quite as bad as actually posting it before though!
I did check the list (including all variations of P6 P.6, P-6 and just Hawk) and I didn't find it, I've just checked again and there are 29 entries for Curtiss, including the hyphenates, but I still can't find this one, must be one of Mel's very rare omissions, unless I'm being exceptionally stupid!! Unfortunately, Tacklebury's original image is no longer there, but I'm sure it was this one 'coz my next challenge then came from the same source that I had found his on.
BTW, you can find all the earlier Cockpit threads in the "Archives" (at the right hand end of the Blue Bar at the bottom of the page).
After all that, it is the Curtiss P-6E Hawk and Cubs2jets has Control

I believe the entry is mislabled as a P26 Hawk on the list. Thanks for the directions to the archive.
Sorry about the color quality of this photo. The lighting was horrible (sodium vapor lights) and I have only made a pass at getting the color balance right. In all fairness, this cockpit IS on the list, but there was disagreement the last time as the photo was mis-labled.
