Foster Wickner Wicko

Wonderful shots as usual, some of your best work. That plane has such a "golden age" look about it, simply beautiful.

Thanks everyone .............. It might be worth doing similar features on other rare types now & again, when the opportunity crops up.

The very reason I do the same, case in point, the Republic Seabee I did a while back. When something rare comes along, grab it, as a moment in time not captured is gone, and will never return...........

?.........this kind of thinking is exactly what we need, in the brain controlling the hands holding a camera !


...........and you say you're not a photographer  ;)  

I beg to differ !

Thanks again. You're too kind but I appreciate the comments. The aeroplanes are the stars & the camera does the rest. I simply aim the camera, press the button & hope for the best. (I'm also a poet & don't know it. A very bad poet at that. )
Sometimes it works out & sometimes it doesn't.

Meanwhile, I found the home site of the Wicko restoration project. http://www.wicko.com/
The Wicko first flew at 3PM on 2nd September & I saw it two weeks later on its first outing. An opportunity too good to miss. Maybe this will give someone the inspiration to create an FS model. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Indeed Ken. That was a very nice profile of an interesting aircraft. I have yet to see one in real life. My problem is that I spend too much time chatting & miss a lot of opportunities.

I've seen a few Seabees, really interesting aircraft. I just found one for FS over at Avsim, but I haven't flown it yet.
