Subject: [Leica] IMG: Restoration of "Mister Douglas" Continues

The supporters of the jump plane "Mister Douglas" are once more on-site 
working on the airplane.? They have raised funds for two zero-time Pratt 
& Whitney engines, the first of which was installed on the airplane 
yesterday.? The fittings and accessories from the old left engine will 
now be inspected, refurbished, and installed on the second engine at 
their shop in Florida.? The fabric control surfaces have also been 
re-covered and are being reinstalled.

Here is a 6-panel pano that I took this morning:

And, here is that new right engine:
