Hello,
 
after ranting about the = "Mystery Chopper",=20 I really got into it and started scanning some H-34G photos that I=20 (surprisingly) have here instead of at my modeling boneyard (see other = e-mail). So here they are, hopefully in acceptable quality & size. = The=20 object of desire is a former German Navy (Marineflieger) H-34G-III, = used in=20 the SAR-role, and I made the photos in february 2000 at the (very = nice)=20 Flugwerft Oberschleissheim (belonging to the Deutsche Museum) near = Munich.=20 They also have a T-33, F-86 Mk.

Explanations to the photos, = any errors are=20 my fault, as I didn't check the information:
My uncle once was a technical officer in = the German=20 army avation, this is what he and the museum guide from the Flugwerft = told=20 me:
cabinbck.jpg    shows the back = end of the=20 passenger cabin, behind the net is a storage area and part of = the=20 'copters electronics. the fat tube in the ceiling centre is the = driveshaft=20 tunnel for the anti-torque rotor, top left and right one can see the = cabin=20 ventilation ducts, the fuzzy bright hooks in front (and the ones in = the right=20 back corner are to rack stretchers. Nobody seems to know what the twin = stands=20 on the floor are.

In the lower left corner of = the=20 photo one can see the top of the right side seats as a fuzzy = greenish-white=20 bar and, far to the left, part of a cabin window with it's yellow = colored=20 emergency egress frame.
ltfrcabin.jpg    shows, besides things already seen, the access to the = engine=20 compartment (gear, not motor) in the right corner of the=20 photo.
cockpceilback.jpg    shows the back of the overhead console with a lamp = (the white=20 dish) and the fuse switches in front. The bigger red and yellow = switches to=20 the front belong to the engine control panel. To the left and right of = the=20 overhead console are storage boxes. In the lower right corner of the = picture=20 one can see the left side sliding window, also with a yellow colored = frame=20 signalling possible emergency egress (By the way, all cockpit photos = were shot=20 from the right side window, I plan to send you more in the=20 future).
