This airplane once belong to the late Bob Franks, and the depicted accident occurred in May of '86 at Plymouth, England. Afterwards, Franks re-restored the airplane, returned it stateside, and soon after he became ill. His estate sold it to an individual in ID. Names are not important here. Eventually, this person sold it to a well known operator in TX, where it resides today dubbed the "Flying Turtle". Today it is N222FT. It is a Canso, built in Cartierville, Quebec.

Does Connie Edwards still have the other PBY? Remember seeing that one on his ranch a million years ago.
