Sorry, mustpost, not the A-7, although this photo was taken at a very early stage in the aircraft's development process.
Edit: To clarify the statement above, this challenge cockpit has no connection with the A-7 whatever. It is is from the early development stages of a totally different aircraft.

It's been more than twelve hours since I posted this challenge, so perhaps it's time for a clue...
The cockpit shown is a mockup for a high-performance aircraft project which died when the military contracts were cancelled due to altered national requirements.

The mystery aircraft's design originated on the continent of Europe

As an amateur-built, several have been completed on the British Isles, but the design definitely originated on the continent of Europe. In Canada, the plans and materials for the aircraft can be purchased from an Edmonton, Alberta based supplier.

Very generous of you, Mel.
I apologise for the quality of the next challenge, but my passenger had the shakes - nothing to do with my flying, I assure you.
I suppose bonus points could be awarded for identifying the airfield?

Well done on the Flea challenge - my old man (wartime pilot) said they (old Fleas) would kill you eventually - much like a Robinson helo (allegedly -Mr Robinson lawyer).
Still trying the next challenge...
EDIT: Sorry old,not bold, did not mean to confuse as a genuine challenge. Punctuation corrected. Merely a comment on some advice from a very experienced rotorhead after I worked with him for three weeks who said .....
