Remarks by Al Beasley: "I was pleased to see a photo of John Ivan's Jodel D.11." (Previously identified in error as a D.9.) "The D.9 was a single seat, while the D.11 was a two place side by side. This particular aircraft was powered by a Lycoming 0-290 GPU, and is unique in that it had retractable landing gear. The gear retracted back, leaving only a part of the wheel sticking out in the slip stream. I was lucky enough to fly with John in this airplane and was very surprised at its acceleration on take off. John worked for the British Columbia forest service, and the airplane was based out of Kelowna, British Columbia, (not too far from where your photo was taken) My flight was probably in 1970. I've seen the airplane up for sale, and I've lost contact with John."
