Thanks to @ancient_mariner for the new theme. As always, shoehorns and crowbars permitted and even expected
Rules are, as before, almost the same as for the film version but slightly tweaked:

- Entries must be taken by you
- Must be taken on a digital camera of some sort (not a digital scan of a film neg)
- Must have been taken and post-processed prior to the start date of the challenge ie in this case before Saturday 27th April 2025
- Please include details of the camera, lens, and anything else of relevance if you can possibly remember that far back, and if linking to Flickr etc please leave exif available to view
- One Entry per person
- Discussion in the discussion thread rather than the Entries thread, please.
- Shoehorning and even Crowbars are positively encouraged!

Entries will close approximately three weeks after the challenge starts, at 23:59 on 18th May2025 and voting will be open for 5 days after that. The winner gets to set the next challenge.

Entries only in this thread please
 
In 1945, my father flew the actual plane that this view was taken in, on a 20-hour non-stop round trip flight from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to Burma and back. I was lucky enough to have a flight in the plane in 2019, before the Collings Foundation ceased giving passenger flights and grounded the aircraft concerned (they had a disastrous crash which killed a number of both crew and passengers).

The view through the B24-J Liberator is from the mid-section towards the tail-gunner's position. The horizontal tube-like structures on the LHS are the guides for the ammunition to feed the rear gun turret. The inclined tubes are the protective sleeves for the steel cables which operate the flying surfaces (yes - the original fly-by-wire!). The black bucket with a lid is the loo!

The yellow tanks are for the oxygen supply.
