I love the stunningly beautiful cockpit...

And of course you have a great opportunity to admire it in a 190 - mainly because you can't see ***-all in front of it.
Actually, to be fair, the 190 cockpit is a lot better than the 109 - but then it seems to have been designed for a normal pilot, rather than a contortionist midget. I think the RAF had the right approach with the Spit though: a standard layout for primary instruments, pipe-and-tobacco pouch for the essentials, a crowbar for beating off the natives if you land in hostile territory, and then just bung in all the other clutter where convenient, and attach big labels so you can figure out what it is all for. Useful reading matter too, if Gerry seems to have scarpered by the time you've scrambled.
