Wow, we're looking at the cockpit of a passenger liner that's half a century old with technology largely developed during World War Two.In fact the cockpit looks as uncomfortable and as utilitarian as a bomber.
Judging by the the line art on the book's cover (see the link below), it is reasonable to believe the plane is a De Havilland Comet 4B.
This is the second colour plate from Ladybird's Flight One Australia.
What an adventure it was! First they flew right across Europe, and on over the desert and mountains of Iraq and Persia. The plan stopped for an hour at Karachi in Pakistan and then went on eastwards across India, the land of the striped tiger and the lordly elephant.
