[ARC5] FW: Need parts for the Memphis Belle

[Lenox Carruth]

Many of you undoubtedly know that the legendary aircraft, Memphis Belle, is
being restored by the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
They are still missing several items and have asked me to help find them.
Below is the list.  I have included the non-radio items in hope that someone
might have a lead.

 

BC-224-A  Receiver

 

SCR-695  Radio Set

     BC-966-A  Radio Receiver

     BC-965-A  Selector Control Box

     BC-958-A  Power Control Box

 

P/N  15-9474  Dipole Antenna Installation ("Towel Rail")

 

P/N  64-1332-504  Prop Anti-Icing  Reservoir

 

P/N  6-10485  Emergency Hydraulic Reservoir

 

P/N  15-8727-2  Pilot's Wind Shield

 

I have posted a picture of the Dipole Antenna as it was on the Memphis Belle
many years ago:

I have been told that this antenna was for the Marker Beacon that operated
with the early British instrument landing system.

 

Thanks for the help.
