To keep the bureaucrats happy, I once acted as 'brake man' for Bradders' Fury ISS early one cold wet morning when we moved it from Southampton Docks to the airport. It had the wings removed for the journey, but the sight of the aeroplane being towed around the raods of Southampton must have been quite a sight! As we proceded along one stretch, I couldn't resist winding back the hood and asking some gent out buying his morning papers "Are we right for the airport?".

But it didn't have a standard instrument panel, IIRC.

An odd one:

Someone got the right manufacturer, but needs to be more specific!

Northrop XB-35?

TaDa! Give that chap a coconut:

The flight deck piccie showed the co-pilots seat in the leading edge - the pilot sat up higher in the canopy. By all accounts, the crew accommodation was very generous.
