Pilot looks uncomfortable/cramped.
British?

Noyade,

I disagree. The panel is too well laid out to be British! On the right, there appears to be a rotary ignition switch, so I'm going to suggest US.

Not an adjustable seat by the look of it!

Cockpit outside view.
For more clues I would have to transfer to the Name that aircraft thread.

Similar in size but not in shape.
Only half the horsepower.

Would/should we recognise it if we saw the full aircraft picture?
Or a very rare one-off?
In Aerofiles?

Thanks Bear.
I have nothing at the moment - so Open House.

In the meantime - have a look at this. From a recent magazine purchase on the V-Bombers - despite the caption and based on the framing, is this not a Victor cockpit?

The Vulcan had "umbrella-handle" control sticks, for operation by one hand only, not the yoke shown. Yes, definitely a Victor, confirmed by the windscreen layout also.
