The terms ‘nose’, ‘cockpit’ and ‘forward fuselage’ are frequently used interchangeably to describe the same section of an aircraft.  One person’s reference to a cockpit, could well be another’s nose section.  Also photos of aircraft on private property, do tend to be much rarer than aircraft at an airfield location. 

I have Don Stephens’s, the compiler of W&R I & II (1961 & 1963) b&w photo print collection.  Probably too early for information on D-IDEK’s survival to have spread north to Merseyside, even so I’ve checked and no photo there.  It would have been Ken Ellis who noted the demise of the cockpit/nose section of the Avro C.19 in the 8th edition (1982).
