I visited the museum in the same time frame (circa 1968) and took several pictures with a trusty Kodak 110 camera. Still looking for them, haven't seen them in 30 years, but still looking.


Hope so, if the wx works, I'll be down for lunch tomorrow... :wink:

That Nieuport looks like a modified original (this one? http://www.aerovintage.com/nieuport.jpg ) , Garland Lincoln modified several in the '30s for movie work, including the one that ended up in England and then Fort Rucker, as well as the one that ended up with Cole Palen at Old Rhinebeck, which is now at NASM Udvar-Hazy. GL also built a new-build replica that was similar to the N.28, the LF-1, which ended up at Tallmantz along with some of the originals. The LF-1 appeared in a well known episode of "The Twilight Zone", and also an episode of "Get Smart". http://www.aerovintage.com/lf1.jpg I believe the engine was a 220 Continental.

I'm pretty sure that the replica that Tallman crashed during "Waldo Pepper" was an entirely different machine, a modern steel tube replica with a Warner engine. Builder's name was Pawkett or something like that?
