G'Day all,
This is an appeal to everyone but mainly those US/Canadian based WIXers who may have encountered examples of the biggest L-Bird of them all, the Stinson L-1 'Vigilant'. We have an example at our local field which is under restoration by Garth Turner, a very capable young enthusiast who is well suited to putting this gangly beast back into the air. This L-1 is the example previously displayed at the CMFT in Vancouver.
There are just eight surviving examples of the 324 L-1s built as far as we can tell. There must however be parts laying about. If anyone can shed some light on possible parts sources or contacts with L-1 knowledge, this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
GMO
