What Cockpit? MK VI
What's that cord sticking through the top of the wing - a manual gear retraction system 
Seriously, a very strange panel: what looks like a localiser but apparently no artificial horizon and a manifold pressure gauge that appears to be indicating 2.5" hg.
Best I can do is suggest something American from the fifties...

Somewhat OT: I haven't been on this topic before. Found the Sea Dart back on 24 Oct. Suitcase Simpson, the only civilian to fly the Sea Dart, shows up now and again at our Old Bold Pilots breakfast in Huntington Beach, Calif, and has shown videos and talked extensively about it. He never showed the panel, however.

Mel...
I think you're right about the Rondone, but what intrigues me is that floppy gadget on the right wing. I'm guessing it's a KISS principle landing gear indicator, but I haven't been able to chase down any reference to it, so far.
If you or Planegill know the story, please tell all.

Planegill, thanks for that, it was a great challenge and brought to light an aircraft that I didn't know anything about. Glenn, I too have no idea what the cord is for but will do some digging.
No here is a nice easy one for,if you are in the UK, a cold foggy and frosty morning.
