hmm. I seem to remember it being completely bare metal, no special paint. Something like polish markings? guess my memory is playing tricks on me. has it been outside for long? It was in a hangar when I visited. think about 7 years ago.
problem I think is the wing spar strap. Many were left to rot in the 70’s when the AD came out.They all need the spar kit if they are to fly again. J Boyle, why not offer the rest of that free 18 to these guys?: http://www.twinbeech.com/
At least that would give the old gal some good use. maybe even a second life!
If this is the plane I think it is, it was recovered from outside display besides a bar in Spain. Lots of corrosion in the wings and such. Definatly not going to fly.
so anyone have the history of this huey. Captured by military forces I Think? Why did it go to the UK and when did it go to a civilian owner? Now if we could only get a Pucara to fly :p
I guess Germany is still careful not to offend anyone. Some still think of them as the enemy. last night I saw a youngster on the telly saying he liked Churchill “because he killed lots of Germans, witch is good”.
