 | I can't be certain, but it looks like a B-25 cockpit to me. Here is one intact for reference:

| Looking closer, maybe not. The B-25 had a split windshield, which your photo did not have

| Looks like a twin. I'm thinking Handly Page Hampden ?. will try and confirm later this evening. Tony (Rocketeer) will probably know as he collects sontrol columns / sticks

| Hi, Thanks for all the quick input! Looking at the attachements I'm thinking Capt. Vick is right in it being French. Looking at the control column and blind flying panel. However the arrangement of the instruments are not the same. I have no knowledge in French a/c. Could it be that this type of a/c had different instrument panel lay-out? cheers, Sander |
