Lucky you!!!!  Have you looked for a pilots seat to convert to an office chair?

If you look at the link Lady Be Good was relocated to a site in Libya. It is beyond salvage but! I it would make for a good display. The Planes of Fame in Chino has the plane Yamamoto was shot down in on display. Someone had Lady Be Good relocated then didn't have the funds to do more. I wouldn't scrap it.

Hey everyone, I am unsure if this is the right forum to ask this question. However, I am currently needing new medic Yokes and bags. I see there is a few options, But i'm particularly looking at Man The Line. I understand it may not be pristine to me, But will it be a better option as opposed to Amazon bags and suspenders?  If anyone could give opinions, that would be great.

Oh...Interesting. I never explored that angle.

I am not any expert on ordnance but that seems too thick to be a shell casing. Seems more like a hand carved piece of brass made for export. 

Might have something to do with BIOT

It looks like a legit US M3 that was converted to a bayonet to fit the H&K G3 infantry rifle that was adopted by Norway during the cold war. Your M8A1 scabbard is a standard Norwegian made copy of the US M8A1 (note the font of the markings and the Norway "crown" property mark). The Norwegian scabbards are scarce in the US, but not rare. They will bring about $50 in good condition. The converted bayonet is not common, I think it is worth maybe $100-$150 or so. It is interesting, but not as desirable to US collectors. It might be worth a bit more to a Norwegian collector. 

Wow!! That is an awesome display!! Great work!!!

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I flew C-130E Hercules aircraft in the USAF (MAC & AMC).  Fast-forward to three weeks ago, and I became caretaker of a decommissioned C-130E/H Hamiliton-Sundstrand 54H60 propeller blade.   It was in pretty bad shape when I picked it up. But with a little elbow grease, black spray paint, fresh Hamiliton-Sundstrand sticker, and a custom anodized steel base from a local metal fabricator, it now stands proudly in my office. It's a beast: 77" tall and approximately 100lbs; props to my wife for her assistance in helping me move this thing from car to sawhorses in the garage, then into the car again for the trip to the metal fabricator, then from the car indoors to the office.    Hard to believe I flew all over the planet with 16 of these things spinning just outside my cockpit windows (!).

Here are matching vases dad sent to my mom when he was in Japan before going to Korea. Don't know what size shell they are. I suppose the Japanese were making things out of surplus to sell to the G.I.s for income at that time. 1951. The artwork is pretty and they match very nicely. And judging by the crustiness inside I'd say mom used them for flowers over the years. Mark
