What Cockpit?
G’day Noyade and thanks. That goes in my training file.
A genuine query if I may because I don’t know this one. Regular readers will know my aircraft recognition has limitations and looking on the interweb recently concerning a family connection I saw this labelled as a Handley Page Halifax cockpit:
… which it obviously isn’t, but what is it?
No prizes, just gratitude (although Noyade might send you a certificate).

Not so difficult this time: AVRO ANSON MK 1. K6183. Beautifully restored.
It's for sale too! https://www.classicaircraftsales.com...ngs/avro-anson

Thanks for that D26, and you’re right it is a lovely restoration. Ironically I was at the Omaka museum earlier this year and highly recommend a visit. And Dixi, that brass switch is for the headlight!
D26 can now resume normal service.

Thanks thnarg. The brass switch and the magnetic compass pointed to a British aircraft. The instrument in general look WW2 and the size of the cockpit to a medium size twin engine aircraft.
Open House please.
Open House please.
Very quiet over here today so let’s start.
Twin engine, open cockpit (or sliding canopy?). Can’t see a gear lever unless it’s one of those at the bottom of the column, so fixed gear? Wouldn’t have liked to fly it in IMC with those instruments, so military?

No he doesn't! My mistake, this is Beagle's win.
How did you get that Beags? Did you recognise it or research it? - I thought this was so unusual it'd escaped most peoples'notice.
To me it bears very little resemblance to the Twin Mustang, or to anything else for that matter. A real one of a kind.

Looks like the Twin Mustang
Err, actually meleagertoo, I identfied it first and was waiting until 24hr before posting a new challenge!
But as you wish....
Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9?
69 built, but only 1 still exists.
