Am I just not seeing it or is the armor plate behind the seat missing in this shot?

Jack, what's the hole under the cockpit? It does look like no armor and maybe a parachute in the back seat.

Flare tube....

Jack do you have any other 339th pictures you could post? I am particularly interested in 44-13521, 5Q-B Marinell.

Go for it Martin
I've got quite a few 339th shots and gun camera video.

Col. Clark probably used to hang our here:

There are photos of 339th men and machines on the walls, and the sign outside has blue and white checkers on one side for 19 sdn. RAF, and red and white checkers on the other side for the 339th.

Still a good place to eat after Flying Legends-
