Well it’s been hidden in plain sight all these years: it seems to have gone to the West Coast at one point, possibly to Chino. Sometime in the 1980s it ended up with Hov-Air at Frankenmuth Airport. Michigan; it was restored by Maurice Hovious and placed on display Military & Space Museum in Frankenmuth on 29 July 1998. It’s still there, though the museum aren’t aware of its identity.

Photo shows it being installed on its podium in July 1998.

Have you tried the Squadron ORB? Available via download from The National Archive; downloads were/are free. Squadron code letters are often listed in the daily report annexes.

Mikkel,

I’d suggest Dan Hagedorn or his son; not sure how to contact, but would suggest posting on WIX.

“. In short, many or most of the people there come across as the type who get more of their information from TV and YouTube than from scholarly books (in other words, they know more about “Buffalo Joe” then Roger Freeman). Yes, I know that makes me sound like a snob :).”

Not snobbish at all: I find it to be about the same, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expecting better of people. In fact I’d go further because my goal is always to try and cite primary sources rather than scholarly books. Nowadays there seems to be too much “I Googled it” type of response.

Not sure what would need that kind of control but certainly not a supercharger.#

Does look more radar/gun laying/fire control sort of stuff though.

There’s a note on WIX saying that the site will be down in the next few days for updates.

The PHP thing seems to be a common thread. WIX seems to be the only site that suffers.

So here we are. If the best we can do is, “what would you do?”, we have no hope. If better people than me can’t think of anything then I’d suggest we’re out of ammo. If I were an imaginative developer then maybe I’d have an idea.

But since I’m not, asking me is petulant and pointless.
