Default Another one dragged out of the woods

As a point of interest, I just retrieved this hulk from where I parked it about 30 years ago. It has some useable parts.

I am still looking for something larger.

Jack,
If the steering wheel is up for grabs, I would be interested it. Also if the center div wall is ok, I would also be interested in it.
Doug

It looks like it fell out of the back of a C-130!

Jason, we must look at this optomistically. It is a perfecrt reinactor's piece. No restoration & very little expense & you have a real carrier that shows the effects of a couple of 88 rounds - sadly they all did not drive away from a battle!

Doug, the division wall is spoken for & I will soon know on the disposition of the rest of the parts.

good idea.... then you can pull the linkage rods out of the bottom of the hull and sell them to me

Default Steering Wheel

I believe Lynn Eades in New Zealand is desparate for a steering wheel.

I'm looking for the wall behind the driver with a serial number on it?
