A Grumman Widgeon in the Desert

[oal]

This fine Grumman Widgeon flew in the our Airpark, the pilot is from Northern Florida.

The plane was found in Africa tied to a tree, two guys bought, took it back to England, as they are Race car body builders in Aluminum, they replaced all the panels to restore the entire plane back to original, the original Ranger engines were replaced with opposing 6 cyl engines.

Excellent composition on the last picture.

Nice pics and nice story.

Great intro and story body, now you need to get a great shot of a water landing for the conclusion! Well done on the find!

Very nice. But in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74718) only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to them, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.

So please fix this, or I'll have to delete one image.

Thanks all, it lives in Florida, I am in Oro Valley Az, so can't get a water shot.

I can just imagine a couple of guys wandering back to a tree in Africa...
"Dude. Where's my plane?"
