Cool to see another active PV-2 on the circuit. One of our members here flew Harpoons and Hudsons I believe in the Mediterranean. Boy it would be cool to reunite him with one of his birds.

He had the guns mounted when they came to Wendover in September - but not the radar antenna - looks great!

Sorry, no pictures of the tunnel guns. I might have a few more, but none show the tunnel guns in detail. Like most airshows with tons of inconsiderate people to get in the way while taking pictures, it's nearly impossible to get any shots with the entire plane in view.

Better not be any mountains in my turret view or something has gone terribly awry!!!! :D

Hopefully this winter we can get some of our interior restoration underway, so we may be bugging you for pictures and measurements.
