What Cockpit? MK VI
Ryan, possibly a PT-25?
Although the windshield doesn't look quite right.
Edited to say not enough PT-25s built; PT-21 with a discreetly edited picture to hide the top cylinder?

Sorry, not a Meyers. The mystery aircraft is not a biplane. Like Bird and Travel Air, the company that built this aircraft went out of business due to the great economic depression of the 1930s.

Mel is spot on
Well done
The Buhl LA-1 Bull Pup was designed by Etienne Dormoy of SPAD fame. Originally powered by a 3-cylinder radial Szekely engine, the aircraft was offered with a long-span and a short -span racer version. You have control.

Next Challenge
Thanks Bri,great challenge . I must admit the "anti-roll" structure in front of the windscreen had me thinking it was a biplane or at least a parasol monoplane. Was that polished alloy panel original?
Here is the next one which I am sure will not last as long as the last one.

I'm going to pass as my IT skills (lack of) are preventing me from posting a challenge.
As for evansb cockpit I rather think that my Grandfather had a hand in building the military versions.

No, not the Myasishchev M-101T, sorry. But thanks for introducing me to an aircraft I'd never heard of before.
Fwiw, I'll be out of the loop for awhile; it's snooze time in Oz again.

Cubs2jets and evansb both correctly classified the challenge cockpit as to the general configuration, but did not identify the correct aircraft. Now someone should explore other possibilities in the same vein.
