Re: 206 G/H Corrosion proof
If the 206 has a float kit it will have extra corrosion proofing along with many other features...stainless cables,closer rivet spacing in some areas etc.

Re: Antique Pilot Pic # 1
Worked for Jack for a few years and spent many hours working on the Husky. As anyone that has worked on the Alvis engine knows,it's really tough on the hands. Engine is full of locking wire!!

Re: Something that just occured to me...
A Stinson 108 sits at YXT out in the weather. Been there for years. It needs a lot of work and should go for a song if you can afford to restore it. I have no idea if the owner will sell.

Years ago there used to be 'loss of licence' insurance. Not sure if this is still available.
