We are in the process of restoring the Boeing B-17F Memphis Belle back to her former glory. We are looking for the following parts for the Model B-17F Bombardment Airplane. Apparently these items were stolen when the Memphis Belle was vandalized while sitting on Mud Island. Here is a list of what we are currently looking for:
(Eleven) Walk around oxygen bottles (pineapple-size part AN6020-1)
(One) Seat Assembly for Radio Operators Room, (fits into the socket in the floor, part # 75-4133)
(Three) Housing assembly lamps (two in Radio Operator's Room and one in Navigator's Comp, part # 9-5892)
(Three) Type A-17 fire extinguishers with mounting brackets.
(One) Dynamotor (Type: PE-86-C)
(One) Type C-1 lamp
(Six) Type S-8 lamps
(Eight) Type A-6 cockpit lamps.
If you have any of these items available please contact
