From my collection, no idea where it came from.

A few more Flight Deck photo's.

These three are of the 'Cosford Liberator' B-24L - 20 -FO - Mk.VIII Serial KN751 / HE807

In April 1985 I was allowed to photograph the interior of the above aircraft which I did extensively. At the time the aircraft was displayed outside at The RAF Museum Cosford.

Photo 1 General view. 2 First pilots position. 3 Second Pilots position.

The picture is of the Catwalk of a B-24 Liberator looking towards the rear turret.
At the bottom it measures 10 inches 25.4cm but as the upright beams forming the bomb racks are splayed out it gives a generous 14 inches 35.5cm at the top.
Imagine traversing this in full flying kit.
