Phoenixuk Goldmember  More info | Dec 11, 2020 14:20 | #738 I recently posted a very similar picture to this of the P51 Mustang of the Hangar 11 Collection against a very grey sky. Today I came across this one while going back over pictures from earlier this year with the sky looking a lot more inviting!

Looks like a couple of Garmin 430, possibly 530s! in there as well! I sometimes think that it’s a shame to fit modern instruments and avionics to these beautiful old warbirds. Mark

Looking at the instrument panel I think that the flight eng must have had the engine instruments because I can't see them in front of the drivers? They were called Fortress I believe and some bristled with guns all around fighters probably had a bad day coming up on those. Neal

unclejohn Goldmember  More info | Dec 18, 2020 18:47 | #747 Canadian-designed and built De Havilland Beaver bush plane approaching our camp on Turtle River, north of Rainy Lake, in 1961 when I worked the summer timber cruising. This plane took the eight of us and our gear there (two or three trips), including our canoes strapped on top of the floats, and brought us our supplies and flew us to Fort Frances for our breaks. A sturdy little plane that inspired confidence.  on SmugmugI don't know anything. But I know other things.
