Controls of a bygone era - it took muscles to fly Auntie Ju and her successor. On the pedestal are the engine controls and fuel tank selector. The knobs on the right control the oil coolers and compressed air. The levers above the pedals are for rudder trim. Unfortunately, the glass on most indicators has become very weathered while no placards have yet been uncovered from protective painting.
