Default Favorite picture of my favorite airplane.

I stood on the wing of this Corsair when I was about 6 years old (about
1959). It was standing on the side of the road in a junk yard owned by a
Garage proprietor, near Hamilton airport in New Zealand. My dad took a photo
of us with his box brownie, but that pic is long gone. A few years later
when visiting Hamilton we saw it again, this time at Hamilton Airport, and
then a few years after that again we saw it but this time it was mounted on
a big pole out side James Aviation, a large aerial top dressing and
cropspraying company. I was later saddened to hear it was sold to the US.
But very happy to see many years later pictures of a most beautiful Corsair,
and find out it was the same one that had been my favourite as a kid.
When I was little dad always took us Sunday driving and most times we would
end up at the airport for a look. (He still does, and he's 80 now.) Whenever
we went on holidays it was the same never went past an airport without going
in to check out the planes. I had other ties with aircraft too as a kid, but
I have bored you's enough already..
