What Cockpit? MK VI
Thanks Mel. It's sometimes nice to wake up and see the clues and hard work already done. 
I'll make it open house, while cooking breakfast...
G'day grollie, the floor is yours if you wish.

The first pic looked like '40s or '50s vintage - and I thought it smelled like a flying wing but drew a blank there - but this is a modern-ish microlight thing with a two cylinder inline engine...and stealth-fighter lines?

Agaricus,
Believe it was designed & built by a NASA engineer - more of a lifting body than a flying wing - and appeared at Oshkosh a few years ago. If memory serves it had an all black finish to give a stealth-like appearance. Not sure it had a formal designation.

Many thanks Graeme! A very interesting aircraft which did quite a lot of flying. Wainfan worked at Northrop Grumman rather than NASA, at least when working on this project.
Both AB's and ICT's remarks helped along the way, and I'm just waking up to a very busy day, too, so I'll say OPEN HOUSE.
