There are a few I cannot i/d properly, as the regn isn't visible in the shots. So, can you i/d them from the following descriptions of hangar shots and also include the date & location? 1. Commander bottom right with Dornier 228 behind it. 2. Commander bottom left, with VH-BLT Beech 58P behind it. 3. Commander fuselage, ex Amann scheme next to flight of stairs, with "Caution mind your head" sign at the top. Also, can you give me the date & location of these ones, which I can i/d? 1. VH-EXV - no spinner and panels off nacelle. Port side shot, square on. 2. VH-YJA - at Essendon? Port side shot, square on. Has eyebrow windows! 3. VH-KAK - outside GAM hangar. Starboard side shot, square on. Has VH-UJV tail behind it. 4. VH-YJM - outside GAM hangar. Unpainted, Port side shot, square on. 5. VH-MAV - at Essendon? Port side shot, square on. Wettenhall Air Services titles. 6. VH-CAW - at Moorabbin? Has hangar with "Hinery" titles in background. Starboard side shot, square on. 7. VH-UJY - Port side shot, square on. Has windshield cover in place. Apologies for being a pain in the butt!

I had to dig up my old `dog tags' to wear to remember who I am. "My Daily Routine": I wake up(that's a good thing) make a pot of coffee(that's even better) check my `dog tags' against the `obits' in the morning paper & if my name isn't in there I check my `to do' list. After checking that I usually decide to take a nap before doing anything rash......that `to do' list just keeps growing & growing & growing. From the mid `60s to early `80s most of my flying activities centered around MDW & for many years we had a charter service & approved flight school there. This resulted in countless student dual flights to the (at that time) many airports in the Chicago area. Among the few names that still stick in my memory banks(Willy Howell sr.& jr.,Wally Sedgwick,George Priester sr.& jr.,Ester Nofke, Vic Jacobs, Monty Montgomery) Siegfried is one of them (probably a Freudian slip of some kind). I believe our common topics were Brookridge air park from dream to fruition & a shared love-hate relationship with the many variations of the Stearman. Hope this jogs the memory.
