Lodestar? Or is it a Ventura?

With those windows on the nose of the plane I'd have to say Ventura or Hudson.

Cheers,

I'd say it was a Hudson III. Likely ex-RCAF.
It had Wright engines and the nose configuration was correct for that version (the Lodestar nose was shorter and the Ventura had P&W engines).
The Hudson I had smaller carb. intakes than this airplane did.

lodestar?

Looks like it maybe the bomber canteen that was in LR.Sackville,next to an old Esso gas station , the fuselage later ended up in a field in Beaverbank,NsThe Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum later acquired it but , it was scraped before it could be collected, they did manage to get some parts .They still have a fuselage of Fk466, that was acquire from a scrape yard in the Annoplois Vallley.
