: Found another old photo. The cradles shown here have worked bomber

Some of those look like seats, really comfortable, perfectly fitting seats. One of my buddies tried molding a seat by pouring some foam insulation into a mold, placing a plastic sheet over the top and sitting in it. Apparently that stuff can get hot . . .
