Thanks Owen. It is amazing how simple the panel is compared to, say. a Beaufighter (and the attachment is just the front panel!). Simple but still effective.
It served the Commonwealth Forces and the cilvilian world very well as a basic trainer. As someone once said to me, "It's an easy aeroplane to fly....badly."
I have a Beaufighter cockpit shot that I'll dig out. It's an interesting one and you'll see why.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
