I mentioned before that the Collings Foundation had a B-25 Mitchell at Bellingham, but it was not open for walk-thru's.
A few weeks after that, there was another event in WA state, the Arlington Fly-In.

At this event was a different B-25, owned by the Historic Flight Foundation.

Their Mitchell is called Grumpy, and is now painted in RAF colours.

This particular plane was once owned by the RCAF.
There are two stepladders, one just behind the nosewheel, forward of the bomb bay. The other is behind the bomb bay, below the roundel.
Access to cockpit.
Same access hatch, photo viewpoint slightly left of centreline, looking to right. Starboard engine visible.
Looking up into cockpit, backs of pilots seats just visible.
I am part way in now, so closer view towards cockpit.
This is the one and only way to the bombardier area! Bloody tight! I crawled on hands and knees on the way in, then a crew-member suggested lying on my back and sliding out. I wouldn't want to do that when it is on fire and dropping fast, nose down!
This tunnel is on the port side, directly below the pilot.
Great view once you get up front.
Looking rearward, directly behind cockpit.
Rear section, behind bomb bay. Unlike other bombers, there is no passage from up front to the rear.
This plane has been stripped of a lot of gear, to make room for flight customers.
The large hole above is for a gun turret.
Upper turret.
This aircraft will be at Abbotsford Airshow Aug 7,8,9
I plan to attend, so perhaps I'll make a video tour.
