What Cockpit? MK VI
Mel, I see now there are two sticks, so a side-by-side cockpit.
The coloured knobs on the tops of the sticks reminded me of several German gliders I've flown, so on a hunch, I looked up German flying boats.
Sometimes, hunches pay off. I think it's a Dornier Libelle.

Good post, Mel.
What an interesting aircraft. Quite modern-looking for 1921:
An interesting discussion of how it ended up in a German museum, but with a VQ registration, here:
Wings Over New Zealand - Dornier Libelle Flying Boat 1930
I don't have a sufficiently difficult cockpit to post, so Open House.

Great work, Mel. Thanks again.
Your post reminded me that no cockpits have been posted recently. Here's one to get things going again:
