That is an LT-6 from the Dixie wing of the C.A.F. (it won the judge’s choice IIRC)

I'd treat it well, but not to that point- I have cleaned vehicles(fire engines, to be exact) to that level of clean before, and by that point, you can actually do damage to paint! Of course, I understand a factory fresh restoration should look that good and clean.

I said I was mainly kidding with my comments tho- Personally, I'd rather see one which looks a little "experienced" Not the 2000 mission trainer specials, where the floorboards have worn through, but also not where the floorboards appear to have never seen a flying boot...

My personal motto is these things were made to be used...(I used to have a fully restored WWII Willys MB which I often took to WWII reenactment events. While other owners often said "Don't Touch! I have a lot of money in this, and I don't want the paint dusty", I always said "Hop in- I have a lot of money in this, and I want it to be used as it was intended!" I would often touch up as needed. (And I actually have about 5 seconds flight time, at an altitude of about 5-10 feet, and distance of about 30 feet.. Quite fun, but I wouldn't recommend it Had I had my Pilot's Certificate then, I wonder if I might have logged it..lol... Aso sank it off a landing craft in the Atlantic Ocean... Stories for a different post)


I seem to agree with General George Smith Patton Jr. when it comes to machinery...
