A lot of the guys have a padlock setup on their canopies or doors in the

hole in
the canopy track you can padlock.

Well... this ain't exactly an example of a "discreet" place to put a
padlock, but anyway... :-)

That's P-47D-40-RA n° 45-49151, preserved at the Museu Aeroespacial,
Rio de Janeiro, here in Brazil. And yes, that's me in the cockpit...

Hi Vicente;

That's a great shot, and a great airplane. That padlock would be one of the
ways to secure the canopy on a 47; that's for sure!
My friend Vlado Lenoch has recently just flown a beautifully restored Jug (a
D.. I believe). There aren't too many left out there. This one looks like it
will be a great restoration when finished.
