There is new functionality in the interactive panorama of the Consolidated Catalina (G-PBYA):
Hover over any item in the cockpit, and an explanation will pop up:
The links are:

A completely new version of the Catalina is now online:
The flight deck panorama has been extended to a full virtual tour. A panoramic view shot in one of the huge blisters has been added, and a little “map” in the top left allows easy navigation between the front and the rear of the fuselage.
The panorama works on almost all devices, including smartphones and tablets, and does not rely on Flash (although Flash is supported for older browsers that don’t like HTML5).

This one’s rather good. SR-71A Blackbird cockpit. Just keep left click depressed and move in an out using the mouse wheel, it’s easier.

Fantastic!
I echo rutleys sentiments too.

Very good indeed, I would imagine not many have seen the inside of the Cat or the flight deck so this will be very interesting to a lot of people. I can think of many more aircraft that could use similar treatment! Many thanks for sharing.
A Hurricane, an ME109, and perhaps an FW190 come to mind! If you happen to know a company that might commission such work, please let me know!
The Spitfire cockpit panorama is ready, but not officially released yet by the client, so I can’t publish the link yet.
Two more aircraft of my “collection” of panorama work, for the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, are
English Electric Canberra – a virtual tour (cockpit, bomb aimer- and navigator station)
English Electric Lightning – with a “day” and “night” mode switch
