B-25C from Lake Murray

[lucky52]

Was the B-25C recovered from Lake Murray ever put back to a static restoration? I only found one picture of a nose section that's supposed to be it.Thanks.

Two different B-25s, right?

The Lake Murray bird is in Birmingham, AL and one pulled from Lake Greenwood is in Columbia, SC.

For B-25 fans, it is awesome to see these early models.

Correct on both counts!

It appears only the nose section of the Lake Murray B-25C was saved.

They got the entire airframe including the rare belly turret. Hope that the rest is in storage.

If you look at the storage yard / building a few blocks away from the museum on Google Maps, you'll notice a disassembled A-26 in the back, along with the B-25's wings.

The fuselage I believe is stored inside. Judging by how many airframes the Southern Museum of Flight actually posses, it looks like they could use a second hangar.

Well, they're getting a whole new location...

Well that's just fantastic! Sounds like a win-win situation. There current location (albeit very well designed) is confined by its bizarre location in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Gotta wonder what the thought was behind that, vs trying to find some sort of property at the airport and build there. Looking at the site where the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum is already appears to be a great location. Would love to see some concept drawings of the proposed new museum space. Hopefully most of the aircraft will be brought indoors now.

I was able to find two exterior renderings when I was creating the aviation museum blueprints, concept art, and renderings thread, but that's it:
