Squiffy' date='some of those Stearmans are the very same machines that my Dad flew back in 1941 ! probably stock engines replaced with bigger lumps,then a spate of crop dusting,then after further overhaul placed on the Amerrican civil market,what amazing airframes they have proved to be.[/quote']Your dad was one super lucky guy!

The overhaul must of been quite an undertaking in its self. They are in fab nick, anything that can be polish or cleaned is done so to the extreame!
