Consolidated B-24 Liberator Walkaround Gallery

Consolidated B-24 Liberator A72-176 Werribbee 2008

I took the photos for this liberator A72-176 walkaround gallery at Werribee, in Victoria, where it is being rebuilt to static, running condition. The fuselage is the original A72-176, a B-24M that served in the RAAF. The guys there were most helpful and were quite free with access to the aircraft. This is most refreshing after the usual lack of access to resto projects. If you are anywhere in the area, (actually, even if you are not!) it is well worth the trip to be able to get up so close and personal with such a historic aircraft. The resto is being done in a WWII vintage hangar, as well, so even the building is of interest! There is a rebuilt cackpit section you can have a good look at too.
