What Cockpit?
Noyade has it.
Not sure which model Constellation though.
Did aircrew always wear their hats in the cockpit in those days. Mine used to come off as soon as I was through the door.

Looks like we might be in a museum. Aircraft to the left has "RAF" style roundels - so maybe RAF, RAAF or RNZAF................
Noyade,
The book is "The Wonder Book of Aircraft" New Edition, published by Ward, Lock & Co. There is no date but I think is is early 1950s as there is a chapter titled "50 Years of Flying". The latest aircraft photo is of Viscount G-AMAV which first flew in 1950, and the Comet prototype from 1949.

My similar looking 'Constellation Cockpit/Crew' shot is from this 1950 publication. I like old books. Cheers.
A Facebook page says Sir Charles Kingsford Smith flew one of these machines - the challenge photo that is, not the Winjeel.
Doesn't look like Point Cook Museum
I believe a few of these machines are in museums around the country.
This one is at HARS.

Although I never saw it when there in 2020.

Looking similar to a Heath Parasol one source describes it as "Australia's most successful pre-war home-built aircraft". Designed and built by two Sydney brothers and first flown in 1931.

Thanks for that Graham. Do I have to wait 24 hours before posting the next? At first I thought your challenge was the Savage SAS Monoplane ZK-ALV but I believe only one was built.
No - its 24 hours between you posting the correct answer and the OP saying you are correct - once they do that you can post immediately
Surely that head rest wasn't so you could spy through that small hole in the dash?
