What Cockpit?
French?
Fairey's famous test pilot!!!
Not sure its one of their aircraft tho

ASI up to 650 kt/mph - and gauge centre left bottom has two temperature(?) gauges, also four large FIRE buttons in left & right groups.
I'd guess an early jet,with twin engines?
Guide in English but that may be a red herring................................. tho the large FIRE buttons indicates English-speaking is probably correct
why would you want an accelerometer? Looks like it was scabbed on later right in the pilot's view so obviously critical at some point - maybe a LOW powered jet aircraft?

not much in the way of avionics or radar that I can see - might be a research aircraft or a light transport?
I think an early USN jet - the silhouette on the blanked out HI/DI would be a dead giveaway if I'm right. 2 x tachometers/rev counters suggests a twin.
Softening luxury for those American fly-boys! Why USN SLXOwft?
They did have quite a few early jets - and a twin would make sense off carriers I guess..............................

can't see any weapons selection - so either its weaponless or the switches are on the side wall or stick - need another image?
Hang about:
I'll bet it rhymes with "gutless" and came from a company who made aeroplanes with cranked-wings....
I haven't got a cockpit post to hand (should my guess be on the money) so I'll leave it to someone who has.

How close Asturias was in his first post with "low powered - early twin - pilot's view critical"
It's clear that Beags got there first though.
So, who's going to name it then?

I think it's a Vought F7U Cutlass - if I'm right can I declare open house as all my relevant offline resources are boxed up due to redecoration in progress.
