Thread wobble
To those who kindly provided the info on the Nav panels on the Navy Jetstream T2 many thanks from "Dickie" on another aviation forum.
Happy New Year to the "Which Cockpit? -ers" on PPrune. Best Thread along with Which Aerodrome? IMHO

Happy New Year! It is a biplane, not a parasol. The airbrushed photo is from a magazine advertisement. The wings folded back on this aircraft to facilitate storage in a 10-foot wide garage.
For windriver, not a radial, it has an inline 'Cirrus' engine.

If not a D.H.60, as ozbeowulf suggests, then perhaps it is the Spartan Arrow? In fact going by the cockpit doors and struts I would say it is a Spartan Arrow.

Now, having found a photo of a Spartan Arrow, I agree with Mel. That almost vertical strut from the wing to the fuselage side looks like a clincher to me.

If it's not a Spartan Arrow, then it must be the Avro Whittelsey Avian. Specifically, the wooden version with the exposed Cirrus engine.

Thanks Bri, a very interesting challenge
. Here is the next one, another back in time I am afraid. I must apologise for the poor quality of the photograph.

Now that's a pleasantly surprising start to 2008 
- just a guess from the German throttle on the stick, headrest, rounded fuselage and close set guns.
I don't have anything to offer - so open house, ladies and gents.
