I'm pretty sure I saw a show about this while it was being searched for. Glad they got her up.

Looks like a Lockheed Electra (Howard Hughes round-the-world record holder?) trying to grow up using steroids.

All the right things are almost in the right places, but the bulges and bumps and lumps are slightly wrong.

Right you are sir. It was from the Model 14 Electra.

Link here(Hudson )

The US Navy also flew a Lockhhed Electra derivative

This was developed into the PV-1 Ventura

Which was developed into the PV-2 Harpoon

The PV-2 was the end of that line but a new one was started with the P2V Neptune Patrol Bomber.

That's all for now folks, have a great day

A handy man special. A little paint, knock out some of those dings and she'll be good as new.
