Tough crowd. Having seen it up close, and knowing what it was like, I'd say they've done a stellar job.

Looks to be in the feather position for some reason. Overall, it looks brand new.

On the second photo? That is just distortion from the wide-angle lens used to take that photo.

One blade on no.3 prop appears to be at a strange pitch angle on these photos. Don't know why, and these props don't have reverse! :wink:

Awesome pictures! Thank you for posting them. Wonder what the interior is like. I've heard everything from its gutted to its fully restored and complete.
