Death Avoided

When I started collecting planes I quikly learned how expensive it could get. I saw how many old derelict planes were out there and it made me kind of sad to think about what they (the planes) had done to make a better world. AWWWW Well, the two random thoughts meshed and it occured to me that I might be able to fund some of my purchases with the sale of "previously dead but restored to use" users. I'll post particularly intersting or challenging projects here from time to time. I just loved "compare and contrast" questions on my high school history exams.

This first example is a Bailey No 7 type 9. Perhaps one of the most challenging I've encountered. The tote horn has been repaired but cleaning and derusting were the order of the day.
