Though this were interesting shots, would like to see other training rigs if you got them.

The Wendover museum has a bunch more where these came from! The gunnery base was North from the Airfield base proper and had several ranges, its own barracks and mess hall, PX, and training buildings. The trolley cart is from the North base, the second shot is from a regular gun range on the airfield base. It is actually still here and used! Albeit the little huts are gone.

Took me a while to find my 7-year-old post, but here's something different:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47910&p=480023&hilit=fuselage#p480023

Wish I knew what newsreel it was.
