I have two, Both from Australia.
First one is from the 1980s, and the other one the late 1960s. Very close to figuring out what the one in the first photo is. (Not a Model 2 or GCS)

Don't know if this has been posted, but I managed to find a photo of a Thunderbolt while looking around on the internet. You can see the blower and part of the rotator in the background.

That's Dulles in VA. That 'bolt is one of the 1971 4Ms I'm pretty sure.

Does the thunderbolt have a backup generator or is that a package unit AC? At first I thought it was an additional blower.

So under the horn is the rotator box. Under the rotator box is another box. And I can see another box under that box.

I see now. I doubt it's a package because who's ever seen a yellow AC
