Shorts Solent G-AKNP

Post by wezgulf3 »

Evening All,

While in the San Francisco area for the Super bowl traffic i stumbled upon this Gem.

G-AKNP (N9946F) at the Oakland Airpot Museum,California.

Had to prop up my camera for this night shot under the fence but i am happy with it :smile:

Great picture mate.
Looks in very good condition too, you get the feeling that you could almost jump in and start the old girl up.

Cheers
Dave

Great shot, saw this back in the 90's. Great to see its been looked after and in a original? scheme.
