The whole airplane is a Stearman 75 with alterations to get early 30's mail plane looks:
Outrigger main gear altered vertical tail surfaces set back cockpit headrest cowled front pit to appear as a mail compartment collar exhaust with dishpan in lieu of a heater trough A clever and atractive modification. |

It is cool looking! I'm assuming, then, that the term "Pitcairn" is simply a nod to the "mailplane" look and that there is no particular "Pitcairn" connection??? |

Doug Ratchford Hi Doug, What kinda ID you want? N #'s or A/C make and model? Most of the shots I put up U should be able to read the N # so u can look it in FAA data base and it will give you make and model... If you cant read the N # let me know or copy which photo (A/C) you want ID'd and we'll see what we can do
Thanks for the interest.

Doug Thanks Doug, she's BC/Aussie Shepperd
As for the Fokker here are a couple more pics, oh and I added in an SE5 that is in the Museum there. 
The N# is 1918P, you can see in the cockpit shot the Experimental data tag below the RPM guage. Here's the FAA print out on it: Unfortunatly the sign for the A/C was built into the step(pretty clever!) and I didn't get a pic of it and I'm not sure what kind of engine it has? http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... rtxt=1918P |

Ranger engine, converted to run upright. Note both wings are one piece, constant chord, but taper in thickness from root to tip, a challenge to build, with tapered box spars. - |
