Was taken in Frunze-Aviation Museum in Moscow. It`s a mock-up cockpit from the Buran BTS-002. The BTS-002, which now is in Speyer-Technik-Museum was an atmospheric test glidder with turbojets AL-21, was not space suiteable ! The original BURAN did not have turboengines and was located in Baikonur!
The Vickers Vanguard in developement had several types of turboprop engines.
Finally before delivery she got Rolls-Royce Tyne engines with a new design, nominal 4,000 hp/3,000 kW (as compared to the Viscount's Dart of about 1,700 hp/1,300 kW).
These four engines gave the Vanguard a much higher service ceiling and cruising speed then her younger sister the Viscount. The Vanguard had a service ceiling almost twice that of the Viscount and was one of the fastest turboprops. Even it was faster than the Saab 2000 or the Havilland Canada Dash 8 of these days.
Off course she had to compete with the jets finally.

Interesting to see this analog cockpit for three people, comparing to modern airliners with all their displays. This cockpit gave seats to two pilots a flight engineer and one spare seat.
