I Feel Old
You guys are making me feel VERY old. I started with World Wide in 1962 and did a summer with the S-58's off the North Sea in Holland followed by Beavers and Bell 47's in Libya. The Ameland crew consisted of mechanic Ken Metcalf, UK; Bob Bishop, UK, Tony Biddle, UK, Pilots George Strolenberg, NL; Ted Von Capelle, NL; John Wood, UK; George Cummings, CDN. When in Libya we received a Conrad 10-2 (converted Beech) that I am uncertain as to who took the picture but I think it is at Biggin Hill awaiting transfer to Libya. Fortunately I didn't fly it because almost every flight it came back with a landing gear problem. I recently made contact with the grandson of Arni Sumarlideson who lives in the DC area but he doesn't know anything about the company or any of the crew. The old corporation is still in business as a real estate holding company in the Caribbean.
