Diamond Lil on chocks for overhaul in the Commemorative Air Force hangar. The nose art with her name is on the other side and the badge on the rear fuselage reads 'The Air Transport Command - U.S. Army Air Forces'. The data block on port side gives 'U.S. Army B-24A, Air Corps Serial No. 40-2366'. She was assigned this ID initially but not taken up by the army and went to the RAF instead.

Carries markings of CAF and Consolidated B-24 Liberator under starboard horizontal stabilizer. Shows "N12905" on port vertical stabilizer, and "2905" on starboard vertical stabilizer. Painted in colors for 98th BG.

Diamond Lil undergoing extensive restoration in the CAF hangar, in which the rudders, ailerons, and elevators will have their fabric replaced. The CAF decided that this was a good time to also replace the flight control cables that connect the pilot's yokes and rudder pedals to those control surfaces. The work was expected to take at least five months.

Algy Spurr photo. Not sure which version of the Liberator this is, possibly and LB-30 transport? Also do not know where this is. Any info would be appreciated.

Was previously in civil Liberator Express configuration (with cabin windows), but the CAF restored it to its original B-24A configuration in the mid 2000s. Following the lengthy restoration it was rolled out as such on 12 May 2007, and it is seen here during its performance at the 2008 Commemorative Air Force Airsho.
