My friend who photographed it was also posting looking for an answer and got this back:
"OK, It's from a Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, Flight Engineers Station.
I posted it and got a few replies from ex USAF Flight Engineers who recognised it straight away.
They all said "… I spent hours starting at that panel…"
How much were they asking for it?
The C-141 was retired from USAF inventory 9 years ago.
Cheers"
