11-143 Garand Picture of the Day - 82nd ABN Div. Market Garden

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Great photos Mark! I think the top negative was backward though.
The backwards markings and the door is on the left side of C-47's so people are usually seen staging on that side.



I've been a crew chief on one of the C-47's owned by the CAF and they're really neat aircraft.
(Ours is a Navy version of the C-47 designated R4D)
MY ugly mug one of the passengers took while flying through weather coming back from an airshow a few years ago.



Below are some more photos of our C-47 (R4D) after restoration



These 'crates' are used to carry spares and oil, etc to shows.


We installed an old military stretcher deal to demonstrate how C-47's were used to evacuate injured.
(There's lots of this stuff still out there NOS for C-47's)




Navigation station restored


I took this photo from our BT-13 on a foggy day. The weather seemed fitting for an atlantic Navy patrol aircraft which this one was.
