This is the British Overseas Airways Corporation's "Flying Boat" which was used in the Indiana Jones movie - now on display at Oakland California's Aviation Museum. The worn out seat in the passenger cabin is the actual seat which Harrison Ford sat and the vintage Time Magazine was the prop used by the actor playing the Nazi spy shielding his face with it. In the film the plane had Pan American Clipper Logo plastered on the side. They said there are only two of these planes on display in the world - one in New Zealand and one here in California.
