Yes, behind the co-pilot seat in the cockpit area (which doesn't seem to
leave much room for a radio operator).  For some reason a single AN/ARC-5
transmitter (not SCR-274-N) is present there too, all by itself, no rack
or anything else accompanying it.  Odd staging, but otherwise a great movie
that was one hundred times the value of the sorry re-make.
