Some MAAM WW2 pix with the old Canon-pt1

I was going to wait until I got a negative scanner, but scans of the craptacular CVS prints seemed good enough to shrink to 8x6 for the likes of you guys...
Some interesting stuff, much not seen even in flyboy28's voluminous posts...
Anyhoo, these were shot with my beloved 60s-vintage Canon FT QL, with a very nice stock 50mm 1:1.8 lens. The light meter is busted, but it's just a joy to look at things through it, and it takes pretty good pictures in my hands.

Part 1: A USN Lockheed P2V Neptune. I know nothing about its history, but really enjoyed the walk-through. This beast is just crammed with doodads and gizmos, including an electric 4-burner stove in the galley!
She's obviously been on a few missions, but a beautiful design nonetheless. Duh... it's a Lockheed; of course it has sweet lines.





     



What the heck is that thing in the center of the panel? Anybody?
I have a tendency to rush through these things; take pictures first and ask questions later...



Next: I dunno; lemme look an' see...

Hey, I aim's-to-please.

Kind of looks like a star-chart for celestial navigation. A bit before GPS times. I didn't get to go in the Neptune, so I'm not too sure.
