Oldfield Baby Great Lakes

Remarks by Helmut Hillenbrand: "This homebuilt aircraft was finished by John Peel from Snowhomish, Washington, USA in 1973. Owners after John have been Gil Nyerges, Vernon R. Godsell of Maple Valley, Washington and Karen Mitchell of Seattle, Washington. I would appreciate to hear from the 4 previous owners.

I am a retired Lufthansa Captain and I bought N6754 from Karen in 1985. When I bought it, the aircraft had the ancient blue and yellow colours of USAAF. The little plane flew nonstop to Hamburg in the cargo bay of a new Lufthansa Boeing 747. In the meantime it has changed its colours and had some changes like starter and bagage room. Presently, 2008, I still fly the aircraft."
