Very nice and kept in mint condition as well, good to see the old props still going, they trully let you know when you are flying.

They’re quite common on a lot of turboprops but I hadn’t seen a piston with one before.

is that pole not on the ground rather than the plane?

RE: An Aircraft to be proud of! Dutchy, you must take a look at this.

I’d suppose the pole is there to prevent the tail hitting the tarmac if the CG shifts during cargo loading.

Or it could be a boutique barbers shop?

A gold star for anyone who can say what the red and white striped pole is for at the back.
