GA aircraft in HM's hangars

While I was flying with the AEF at Benson in the 1990s, I was very aware of the Antonov AN-2 Colt quietly standing in our hangar.

I normally drove my family in a converted 12-seater Transit, so I nurtured a fellow-feeling with the unknown owner more than I would have done if the aircraft had been a conventional Cessna or Piper. No special envy, since I could not afford any of them and since I was getting many more hours in HM's Bulldogs than the owner could possibly afford in his Colt.
