Pioneer aviators like Charles Ulm and Charles Kingsford Smith spent many hours in the cockpits of the Avro 618 Tens, but they were hardly luxurious. The Faith in Australia cockpit seen here is stripped back to the bare essentials, with uncomfortable-looking seats. A large compass in a pivoting gimbal device can be seen between the seats. The Avro 618 Ten was built under licence from the Dutch company Fokker and the first five manufactured were sold to Sydney-based Australian National Airways in 1930.
