I've got an idea.
How about this: British? Yes. Civil? Yes. Turboprop Twin? No. How about a pair of Lycomings?
BN Islander?
Edit to add: There of course could be three Lycomings and therefore a Trislander?

Bravo Nacluv!
Hence why I was less than forthcoming with my original answer; there aren't many British civilian non-turboprop twins... Sorry Noyade, I hope you understand!
My 'baffled' clue may have helped
The Islander was manufactured at Bembridge, Isle of Wight, a stone's throw from the Saunders-Roe factory in Cowes...
This aircraft was on the cover of a British aviation magazine, and that edition was featured on their website for many months as an example back issue.
Nacluv has control.

Blimey - I wasn't 100% convinced myself! The IoW link did help to get me thinking in what turns out to be the right direction. Then I realised the viewpoint in the photo would be about right for someone in the r/h seat. The baffled clue, incidentally went right over my head.
Thanks TheiC for a great challenge - it was fun!
Now please excuse me while I rush off to find another...

Well, a crop of it... Obviously not a very clever one, perhaps!
I spent twenty minutes this morning working on a Tamworth clue for you but didn't get round to using it, I'm afraid.
Your control!
