[Milsurplus] ART-13 / BC-348 pic

I was curious about that as well.  Use of a good imaging tool allowed 
adjustment of the brightness and contrast level to see the detail, but 
it didn't help me from an identification standpoint.  Looks somewhat 
like the end of a dynamotor on the other side of that Cannon coarse 
thread connector, but that's as far as I can go since I don't follow 
later equipment.

I'll accept Dave S' observation on the BC-348 Canadian tag, but in that 
case I'm a little bit puzzled by the lack of fuselage insulation. 
Perhaps it's the 'winter of no end' affecting my judgment...  :-)  The 
only other airframe I can remember configured like that was a bunch of 
ex-Coast Guard surveillance seaplanes in one of the Tucson bone yards to 
which the Telegrapher brought me a few years ago (blindfolded in the 
back of a windowless van, IIRC.)

Best 73,
Mike
