There's also a rather large engineer's panel !
I just noticed that this photo was taken in flight.

Great shot John. I don’t think its inflight though, they are hexagonal ramp “tiles” unless I’m mistaken. And the gauges are powered off.

It was with the A320 Dale, mid to late 80’s.

If I remember correctly, they boiled them to go with a salad.

I heard the French removed the yokes from the cockpit because they prefer shtick.
