A small world

Post by Wbirdnut »

How small is this world, so I frequent a couple of remote control aeroplane forums,
a chap recently posted a story about his Dad who purchased a Cessna 185 new in the
America and flew it from 1979 till 1983 then sold it.

In his post he mentioned he had been contacted by a fellow who now owns the
Cessna and had heard of his Dad having a name on the machine which he wanted
to re-enstate and hoped he may have a picture with the name.

In his post he also mentioned in 2019 the 185 had frown west to east from America
to New Zealand. This of course got me thinking if I had seen her, low and behold I
managed to capture her during a refuelling visit in Nov 2019.

So I posted my pic’s on the RC plane forum and knocked the socks off a few people
who read about it, a small world we live in.
