The image below is of the Collings Foundation B24J Liberator, which is the last aircraft of that type in the world which is airworthy and flies. Although it is tricked out as "Witchcraft", a famous US plane (no longer in existence), under all the paint it is an ex-RAF plane, former designation KH191. It saw out the end of WWII as part of 8 Squadron RAF, flying out of Ceylon (or Sri Lanka as it is now known). On September 14th 1945, my father flew KH191 on a 20-hour non-stop round trip mission to Burma. Last year we went to the States and I had a flight in the plane - it was a very emotional day.

Mid-gunner's view by John Liddle, on Flickr A view from the mid position towards the tail. If you look carefully on the LHS, you can see the steel cables which controlled the flying surfaces on the tail - the original fly-by-wire! The horizontal rail-like structure is the amunition feed for the rear gunner and the black bucket is the loo. Towards the tail by John Liddle, on Flickr SWMBO making her way through the bomb bay.
