What Cockpit?
Correct. There is a connection between the Swordfish and my challenge cockpit.
D'uh oh!
It's a numerical progression.
TSR 1 and 2.
Incredible to think those two are only separated by 30 years!
Give that one to ASW please, he clearly had it first.

Yes, it's the rear cockpit of the TSR-2. The photo I posted was captioned as being a mockup.
meleagertoo, not quite a numerical progression. Fairey built the TSR I which with modifications, became the TSR II Swordfish. The 2 in the TSR-2 nomenclature apparently came out of nowhere. There's an interesting discussion here:

Looks a bit `L-29`...ish....?
"-ish" is about right - but it's not an L-29. A lot of these were built but it's damn near impossible to find pictures of the cockpits that look identical
That green knob on the seat pack looks like the toggle for a bailout bottle, so I presume this is a US aircraft.
or maybe an `Iskra`....?
No - there were trainer versions of the challenge I believe. Lots built but none in the USA - the bailout bottle maybe a reto-fit - everyone and their brother seems to have modded these.
Very tall stick and "Russian" instruments, so Russian or Eastern bloc?
