Great shots!

I guess this particular Herc was the wingless airframe on the north side ramp. They must have re-assembled it in the airpark?

I believe that this is the second CC-130 to have been retired from service, the first possibly being the airframe entombed in the new Hercules Training Facility at Trenton.

FYI….There will a Bomber Command cairn dedication tomorrow at the museum and from what I’ve heard a flyover by Lancaster FM213.

Even though it’s been through a fire, spending time in the desert probably slowed corrosion.

It looks like a great start!

Thanks for the update!

I believe the current nose blister was fabricated for the City of Toronto to replace the original while FM104 was on the pedestal.

The new seat looks great Geoff!

I see the FN5 turret in the background, it’s coming along quite nicely too!

Thanks guys,

The dimensions between the front/back mounts match closely to the .303 Browning.

I’m wondering if it could be something similar to a PBY bow gun, but for a lighter caliber gun? The photo below shows four .50″ guns mounted through the bow plate of a PBY.

It’s the only thing close (sea, land & air) that I’ve found so far.

Mike

I’m not sure either. It could possibly be a deck gun off a boat.

Hi Oliver,

I’m not sure where the position indicators were located in the aircraft.

I’ve have a few photos posted on the tread below showing the transmitter unit fitted to the main valve from a FN82 turret.
