Alan Alan, a poet and aviator friend based in England who flight trained in the USA during WWII snapped this Tiger Moth. The N6473 on the rear fuselage is the ex-RAF registration. Current civil reg is G-AOBO. While being towed back to the hangar after a recent flight, a wing collided with a parked car, and suffered significant damage. Let's hope she won't be down for long.

Thanks to Tom Oglin, veteran US Navy, for those six pictures which I scanned from loaned 35mm slides. TO1 - F7U-3P Note the canopy has been removed. This slide reproduced very warm. I will try to get the "red out" with Photoshop and if successful, will re-post it here.	These pictures were taken at NAS Dallas, TX in the mid-50s. TO2 - P2V-4 Neptune	TO3 - interesting lineup	TO4 - Note the underslung wing tank. The final Neptune variant, the -7, may have been the last US aircraft equipped with at manned gun turret. Who can confirm or refute?
TO5 - Convair R4Y	TO6 - Douglas R6D, USN equivalent to the C-118 and the DC-6.	Sincere thanks to Tom Oglin for the loan of these fine photographs so I could scan them and share them with you.

THANKS to William Larkins for launching Visitors Gallery with these four excellent pictures.

WL 1 - Beech AT-11 41-9484, based at Hamilton Field, CA, flying over Marin County, CA

WL2 - Cessna L-19A 57-4750 August 1971
The The top surface of the wing suggests a fast overspray of olive drab over white. It would be interesting to know if the US Army continued to fly their L-19s (redesignated O-1 in 1962) in OD while in Vietnam. If the upper wing was overpainted OD following its return stateside, it would also be interesting to know whether or not white wing army O-1s were used as FAC machines in coordination with the USAF and USN.
