MMMmmmore!

THanks MotF - I think that this thread is 'going large' !!

Photo 1 - Sywell June 1964 during restoration. The front fuselage was found to be oil soaked and in need of major reskinning.
Photo 2 - Ake Laurell, the owner from 55 -61. He flew it extensively throughout his ownership. This picture was probably taken in 1961 at his home strip. His handwriting is such that I cannot decipher the logbook entries. He looks just the same today - just a pair of specs added! He has a Bonanza today and will be around 78 years old.
Photo 3 - A very early photo, probably taken shortly after arrival in Sweden in its factory-fresh red fuz and tail, cream wings.
Photo 4 -1941 with the Swedish markings applied over the civil scheme. It didnt wear proper silver uniform until Barkaby.
Photo 5 - Late 50's/ early 60's. It looks quite ungainly with its trousers off. A clear shot of the earlier, lighter undercarriage, now with beefier Proctor components.

Phooooaaaar!
