[Leica] IMG: Some Closeups of the Twin Otter

[Ted Grant]

Hi Jim,
My kind a plane! :-) Lots and lots of hours across the frozen high arctic
ski equipped.  Some with wheel under carriage summer time.
One bad wreck, ski equipped a March date, on the frozen
(thankgoodness)Arctic Ocean arriving at a Decca Station. A pilot error kind
of "wrecked the plane" and scared the hell out of me.
They had to bring in a big recovery chopper to take the plane back to our
base.
cheers,
ted

The Twin Otter jump plane had been up earlier this morning, and was 
awaiting another trip, so it prompted me to get a couple of closeup 
shots not usually available.  The reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada 
turboprop exhaust leaves its mark on the paint of the engine nacelle.

I had not given much thought to the cockpit arrangement, but quickly 
noted that the engine controls are on the ceiling, something I normally 
associate with seaplanes.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
