Default You gusy are good.....

Kudo to Jordan for being first.....

It is the inside compartement of a Churchill...... Great Arc...... on display at the CWM..... photo taken from the driver's front hole.......

The sad part is that when the Churchill was found ina junk yard in Kemptville, Ontario in Dec. 1972 the interior was complete and so was the engine..... apparently no one at the nuseum knows what ahaapen of all the internal fixtures including the brass naval firing mechanism that deployed the forward bridge section or where the flat 123 cyl complete Bedford pancake engine went to..... probably a bumper on a Toyota by now.

Fortunately when found it in 1972 I took some B&W pictures of the inside in great detail and actually sat in the driver's seat holding the bicycle handle bar steering device.... one day before I get to old I will scan said pictures and maybe someone can set the record straight as to the provenance of this great machine improperly displayed.

Keen eyes fellows.....!!!!!!
