Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).
Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Its not active, as when we arrived with the Staggerwing on Friday afternoon I had a look at it. No seats, no instruments, and although I didn't check the intakes, I suspect no engines either.
I looked at the contruction plate on the tail (port side), and if I recall correctly it was the N53PJ, c/n 53.

Sorry, I haven't seen this question before. The Paris is a (very) long-term restoration project. They only work on it if they have time for that, which is very limited. The goal is still to have it airborne again one day (but don't ask when this will be). That is also why everything was not onboard: restoration/maintenance of all these parts.
