Great challenge. Nothing suitable to follow up with, so Open House.

Interesting research...

I was tempted to say Bulldog 200, which was, I believe, the military version of the Bullfinch...

But:

Where's the handle for the disappearing wheels?
...or is that the weird thing at (31)/(32), and if so, why out of reach of the RHS occupant and out of keeping with normailty?
The panel (especially around (60)) looks wrong for the 200...
The quadrant doesn't look very Scottish Aviation...
The sticks are the wrong shape...
I can't find evidence of a 200 with a serious weapons capability...

So, bearing in mind my dislike of highly definitive enquiries early on, ONE question:

Did this aircraft enter series production?

Eventing Gents.

Not the Bulldog.

I don't mind mate, ask away!

No.31 and No.32 are the wing flap selector and wing flap indicator respectively.
Ans yes, it went into production.

Cheers.

Saab Safari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saab MFI-15 Safari, also known as the Saab MFI-17 Supporter, is a prop-powered basic trainer aircraft used by several air forces.
Well done Theic - mine was captioned "Supporter".

Open House.

The percentage rpm indicator tells me it's a jet, and single engine.

British possibly?

I think the altimeter indicates a non-British aircraft.

Well, I've flown a British jet with a three needle altimeter.

A sod of an instrument which is all too easy to mis-read.

Not British.

But yes, it is a single engine jet aircraft.
