What Cockpit?
Steel tube construction? Vintage type? Release looks really weird! What is the round bulbous thing on the right and the vertical thing at the top of the instrument panel? All very strange.
The smallish wings make me think it’s a 15 metre (or smaller) single seater
Surely not one of the Ka series?

The round object is a RAM universal mount for a GPS or other nav device; top of the panel is the canopy jettison control.
Yes steel tube fuselage single seater; not a Rudolf Kaiser design.

Doesn't look like a Spatz to me.
Whatever it is, the owner has spent a lot of money on instruments.

Not a Spatz, but yes to German.
Hardly an expensive panel, the blank itself was new (since the old one appeared designed to amputate ones legs in the event of an incident) but everything else came out of the 'surplus box' of instruments removed from other people's gliders during panel upgrades.

I understand that was a derative of the SF-27
I can not tell the differences from a dashboard photo.
If correct then I will have UV take the stick.
Er - the SF30 is the Club Spatz, a 1970s design, with some commonality with the 1960s SF27, which itself was originally called to Zugvogel 5., and a developed 15 meter version of the earlier 1950s design 17 meter Zugvogel 3.
As the pic is of a Zugvogel 3B I think you can have it so over to UV. This one:

My apologies
When flipping through various models I have mixed up type numbers and names.
I did find cockpit photos of SF-27 & SF-30 but didn’t look hard enough for the 3B.
So I have not solved your challenge.
As you have revealed the correct answer, now indeed better to give UV the lead as he did largest part of the search.

Possibly an Ercoupe...?
After the cryptic clue from "Dylan Thomas", all is revealed. The Malmö/Bölkow Junior.

Well done I42 for naming it. Also asw28 for the clues! It is indeed the Bolkow Junior although sometimes irreverently called the Bolcow.
Actually I quite enjoyed flying it!
Over to you, 42

I didn't realize the Junior had a shared stick. Reminds me of flying the Victa Airtourer.
Nothing to hand. Open House.

The aircraft designer (chap in the hat from a contemporary 1936 illustration which depicts a well known, in their country of origin, aviatrix), also designed this watch...
