Repaint by Tim Harris aka Meatycus.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks for the comments.

#3, #4, & #5 are not repaints, but part of the package. I put a note above each repaint crediting the painter. #2 is the only repaint in this part. #1 & #2 in part one are repaints.

Again great shots of the old pig boat Larry... Wink

Oh I forgot to mention this:
Most of the non pilot crews liked to fly with me on the Canso and Douglas 3s and 4s because I gave them the left seat for hours on end. They got to fly...silly fools... Grin

Our trips were hours and hours on end, sometimes ten or more hours a stretch, that is a long time, I would be in the galley cooking bacon, eggs, fried potatoes with onions and peppers or for a late lunch corish hens, chicken, chops and all the trimmings.
I loved cooking and the old girl would send along some home made pies and other goodies for the trip.
The company gave the Captain a voucher for food and emergency accommodations if required. We were never short of funds. Wink

As a crew we split up what was left after the trip...it worked well for more than twenty four years before some young lads figured the company needed a union. Undecided

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug.

Sounds like I would have enjoyed being on one of your flights. Very interesting.
