Found this nice shot of the Spad cockpit while doing a bit of "research."    Looks a bit like the cabin of a boat, something a bit different.   The petrol filler pipe runs down the right hand side to the fuel tank beneath the floor.    The hand cranked starting magneto is on the lower right side.     Nice set of "clocks ?."

WOW :o Steam powered instruments. I can't see the rubber band though Bazza ;) ;D
Great shot though, where was it taken?

Lots of opportunities for FOD there... :)

I see what you mean Bazza, could almost be a motor cruiser chuntering down the Thames at Henley...
