Thanks Mike, hadn't realised the yellow example and Scrapiron IV were the same aircraft.

Thanks DaveM2, I wondered if the Hurri might be one of the BofB movie replicas.

The Corsair "Josephine II" I am pretty sure is the exRNZAF FG-1D NZ5648 . Now airworthy and back in NZ but currently grounded due to legal issues (like the owner one Gene DeMarco getting done for fraud!)

Amazing pictures. I believe this is the best picture group I have seen. That is Pete Bowers in his Fly Baby #1 and So many other incredible pictures. This is a big book of cool stuff....


Joe,

I don't think that's Pete. Don't know what year that pic was, but there are some inconsistencies with the paint scheme and other things from the prototype Fly Baby. It doesn't have Cub wheels and tires, the data plate is gone from the side of the fuselage, the N number should be visible and its not, windshield frame is wrong color. Pete sold it in the early 90's. Could of had the changes then. I would love to know when that was taken.
