I read some where that the Israeli airforce had one Stratocruiser in store a remanent of the sizable batch the Israeli AF bought for a pitance in the 60s after the Queens had fallen from grace.

Any one know if this is true, where it is stored and whether a full restoration could be on the cards?

I'm doubtful as it would have been ceased for restoration long ago if that was the case.

thanks, but it is not a bona fide b-377 ... KC97s are plentiful

True, sorry. That one was the closest recent one from Israel I knew of.
