If you look close, you'll notice it's actually the rear cockpit of a two-seater.  That got me too... :)  I love the little plaque about max dive speed.

nice shots. Although that spade handle style joystick(names gone from head)::) must have been a bit difficult to get used to in combat situations

Spade grip joystick. All RAF fighters had them during WWII.
