1955 Loader aircraft
Probably OT and not sure if it even has a flathead or not but this would be perfect for GB up on Orcas Island.

Its listed on Facebook so I don't think the link will post but here are a few photos. And if the mods feel its too OT please delete.

Hey, That is really cool! Fortunately I'm not on facebook, so I can't investigate further.

Been missing my fordbarn friends as I had a long run of furniture to finish before my week at the tractor/gas/steam show at Lynden and returned to 5 grandkids visiting. Just plain too much fun! By the way, where is that aircraft loader located?.....

Winchester, CA I'll PM you the Facebook link. Don't think you have to be a member to view the posting. FYI: they want a boat load of money for it.

I'm sure that if Garry dug hard enough around the back 40 acres, he'd probably find one.
