Just curious if this B-26 is complete on the interior?
Pictures of the exterior look nice. I think it was repainted not long ago.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The reason: another plane was scheduled for restoration after the B-26, SNCASO SO-4050 Vautour n°330, and the restoration of that plane was to be sponsored by a wealthy former crew member. From what I was told, that guy was getting more and more impatient to have "his" plane restored, so they sped up the restoration of the Marauder. While it looks externaly perfect, only the cockpit and the nose section can be considered to be (almost) fully restored. Radio room, bomb bays, waiist gunner position, and tail turret are all incomplete. Very sad....

It would be neat to see it fully restored someday. Any interior pictures out there?
