I also have a shot of a cockpit of an aircraft very similar to Charlies. Thanks to the Irish Air Corps (and no I've never flown in it :-[ ;) ) ;) .

One of them visited us a few weeks ago. Very nice too, but a bit green! ;D

(Glass cockpit too! :P ;D)

Thankfully yes!

Not as modern as the IAC PC-9, but the engine's bigger!;D

Just in case you were wondering, my pic is the cockpit of an Irish Air Corps Pilatus PC-9 whilst Charlies, as has been said is a RAF Shorts Tucano T1 :)

Edit -
Not as modern as the IAC PC-9, but the engine's bigger!

Not as good looking either! :P :D ;) Only jesting, the Tucano is a very nice looking aircraft which, unusually actually suits black.

It does have a curve or two, something that the Pilatus designers forgot. PC-9 has a piidly little undercarriage too... ;) ;D
