Spent a nice afternoon scrounging for parts at the turret parts scrapyard with Richard Woods from the Pueblo Air Museum. We got covered in crud and inhaled half a pound of dust each but we found some interesting bits and pieces.

More turret bits

A few more items

Last one. Not bad for a few hours of looking in drums of old fan motor parts. You must never know what you will find until you tip a drum over. :D
