Interesting how the tailwheel is either unlocked or locking parts broke.
Pilot must be looking for the barrier.

Love the Essex stuff Jack. Let's have some more.

One of these days when I get a scanner hooked up, I'll post some of the Essex photos that my grandfather gave me. I've got some good ones.

Have you posted any of the ones you've got on display at the OFM? I've got prints of the same photos so I won't put those up if you have already.
