Part 2 is up. Again....not judging on the owner or what he does.

Just happy to snoop around.

And I have to say. Man the innards of a WW2 B-25 are a heck of a lot more complex and crowded than I ever imagined when all the wartime equipment is on board.

I do have sympathy for the man crawling around.

My 54 years old big ass ego is only trying to imagine what it is like crawling to the back gunner position or over the main wing spar box section to get around.

Enjoy friends!

I've done it while in the air, when I flew in the Collings B-25.....and that had most of the WW2 gear removed, but even so, and I was a fit mid-40's guy back in 2007 when I flew in the B-25, but even on a benign spring California day, crawling back on hands and knees to the rear gunner position while in the air certainley opened my eyes to what those guys were doing for real.

Here's the photo I took from the rear gunner position looking forward 8)
