This particular Lockheed Electra fuselage was used for interior shots in the TV movie about Amelia Earhart's last flight "The Final Flight" with a cast including Diane Keaton, Rutger Hauer, and Bruce Dern. The interior was redone to resemble Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Model 10 Electra used in her last flight where she was lost over the Pacific Ocean. It looks like there are 4 or 5 additinal fuel tanks in the cabin. The tanks appear to make movement between the cockpit and rear cabin difficult and there is a toolbox on a clothesline pulley to to transport stuff beween both areas. It's not clear if this would be used for sandwiches or pee bottles.
