arkusvt......By chance, with your knowledge of Kudasch, and your "ARCUS" screen name, do you have any connection with Zora or Yura Arcus-Duntov? Interesting connection, anyhow. DD

Okie, why not say what you do know about the person you are asking about. It might help people recognise who it is you are referring to.

Ol' Ron.....The picture below is a Beech 18. Compare it with MY avatar. My pic is a Cessna T-50......in fact, it's Sky King's T-50. DD

Ron, Beech 18 has twin tails like B 25's and 24's. I think that is the Songbird. I can see Uncle Sky but not Penny's head.

Drifting on subjects is OK on threads I guess, but should be after the question is answered.

I really don't mind, no one seemed to know anything about GB, but some that might have an interest in the planes will never see them.
