Tom, In 63 and 65 it was my dad's first self designed and build highwing single engine 4 place called the BlueBird was first flown June of 55. It is still flying under its 5th owner. Airplane No. 2 is a high wing twin 5 place with 2 150hp lycs called the Wickham twin, first flown april of 68 while I was in Danang. There was a acticle about the twin in the Sport Aviation Nov 2009 issue. One other thing as a young aircraft engineer while working for Chance Vought in the late 30's, my dad designed the original landing gear down lock link for the prototype Corsair. My dad never understood why I liked trains more that planes and I don't either.
