would make a good dio ,
you even get to add a bicycle ,, and the additional one or two crewman that are atop the other wing .

a good dio

Ha! I had to zoom in to be sure it wasn't already a good dio!
The photographer must have told them to pose like they were doing something!

It's been on my computer for probably 8 to 10 years - I was going thru looking for a new background screen image .
and yeah , you need to zoom way in , it's only 563 X 390 .

I guess that is a generator on the trailer ? ; it appears uninvolved with the fueling .
I'm curious what is attached to the bicycle that is showing up so brightly at the center of it's frame .


Here's another cool dio idea ,
small image again :

My father worked on a hydrographic vessel in the early 1950s. The cod fishery was still viable, and there were still many outports in Newfoundland & Labrador that were only reachable by boat. So as they charted the coast, bays and inlets, most of which only had ancient maps (Newfoundland only joined Canadian Confederation as a province in 1949), they also dropped supplies and mail to those communities. Those days are gone, but Newfoundland remains a beautifully rugged land populated by hardy, resourceful folk with a long tradition of stories and song.

Excellent video........I wish I watched this as I was building my Trumpeter 1/16 Tiger II with full interior a couple years ago.
