What Cockpit?
I've just returned from my morning constitutional and I see that 24 hours has passed and I can declare that oncemorealoft is correct - the GA Hamilcar. Impressive ID skills.

It was the world's heaviest glider at 36,000 lb AUW.
Don't worry Slb, I've done the same thing myself. I'm sure you would have got it if I had posted the unclipped image:

The flap and spoiler quadrant would have been a giveaway! I am intrigued by the markings on the flap quadrant - lift, neutral and drag. Does anyone have a copy of the Pilot's Notes?
Also the Spoiler handle was a surprise. I have not seen any references to spoilers nor in any pictures, particularly in this cutaway:

oncemorealoft has declared Open House.

Uh huh.
Fast fighter with both one end two seats, long range aircraft, two seat civvy tourer, four place 'airliner', floatplane. It was a versatile old bird.
I'll accept several mainly detail variants on the same basic design.
Blatant clues above...

British? its hard to see much in that pic................
I guess it's something like the Curtiss P1 hawk?
That hideous device! There were still some promotional items about it lying around at Elbeflugzeugwerke when I visited Dresden about 15 years ago.
Landing gear indicators might be a clue?
