Great pics Coff.
Speaking of Beaver. I did a bit of design work on the Beaver in the early 80s. You live and learn. During the survey noted a small circular panel that got included in the scheme (incorporated in a doubler). Odd thing was it was not on the second or third aircraft so I questioned the mod state to find it was a battle damage repair for a bullet hole!


Also worked on the Alouette 2 (My Dad had worked on the 3) I also worked on some of the same tail number Canberras as my Dad. I guess many folks lay claim to that one. I am only 57.


Looking forward to seeing the next instalment. Just love the polished finish. I remember one of my old bosses telling me about polishing the Hastings belonging to Mountbatten in the Far East so much that there was no heads left on the rivets.
