Does anyone know what that tube is under the flags?

My father's newspaper clipping concerns its arrival at Andrews...which I understand from Final Cut, occurred in 1953.
The LA ceremony was in 1949.

I think it's the navigators drift sight.

The restoration of the Swoose is what, about 20 years away give or take?

The restoration staff at the museum told me they had to finish the Memphis Belle first.

While I can't remember the date, their is a specific target date for the Belle to be put on display in the WWII Gallery ... It is a historic date of sorts pertaining to the Belle herself.
