>>Actually, I thought the same thing, Jack - but if you look again, you
can see the corner of it at the bottom edge of the picture. Maybe Stu
removed it for the shot,

***Nope. Everything was shot "as found". Didn't even twist a knob.

in there. Plenty of room with the tubes missing.

***Yeah, could be. There were a few empty water bottles here and there in 
odd places, too, maybe left by passengers during their $375-$450/head demo 
rides.

There was also a Craftsman tool chest in the B-24.  You can see it on the 
right side of the "Gear under Radio Operator's table" picture.  I didn't 
touch it, but I'd expect that it was locked. (8>))
