Fond memories, I use to own a share in this aircraft in the mid 1970's.

Did my initial tail wheel and initial twin endorsement on it with only 150 hours TT.

A real handful in the beginning, but the aircraft grew on you.

Always remembered, you had to have someone outside when starting to put out the induction fire that could happen with over priming.

When John Love bought it the transformation from old and tired into pristine polished metal with original stripes was great
