Stumbled over this photo, never even heard of a galley in a WW2 era airplane before. Are there any more candidates?

None that I know of - though if there are any other examples, another flying boat would be the most likely candidate, since they tend to be roomier than land-based aircraft. According to Wikipedia, the Sunderland also had "a yacht-style porcelain flush toilet, an anchoring winch, and a small machine shop for inflight repairs". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland

Yes they are ; for instance the PBM Mariner

Amazing! If they have Wi-Fi I could live there happily.

One of the most liked features in the DC-4 I used to fly was the two bunks and rudimentary galley in the crew area, one of my flight engineer was quite famous for his secret recipe toasted sandwiches, that and hot coffee were a godsend on an 8 hr plus flight , especially when the autopilot was disconnected on most aircraft so it was a case of hand flying all the time, just keeping a loaded DC-4 in accurate level flight in economical cruise was an effort in concentration  .

Sometimes the whole crew area was removed to save weight and create more space, I was always sad for those aircraft

Now I'd like to see a post about having 25 of these kitchen units to clear in Sheffield

The Catalina also had a galley.

I have been on a couple of Albatross that had galletys, but none of the interiors were original so I don't know if that counts.  One of them is used as a catering platform for special events on and near Lake Tahoe, and it has a pretty extensive galley.

Stepping away from aircraft just for one moment if we may, every British tank manufactured since the 1945 Centurion, and most armoured fighting vehicles (AFV), have a boiling vessel (BV) also called kettle or bivvie  Tea anyone!
