Guy: As you may know the photo you posted is not the Funk but a Budd RB-1. Both are equally rare but I don't remember seeing a photo of the Funk UC-92 (42-79548). It was sold surplus in Panama and was registered RX2 but I can't find any record of what its original NC Number was. I don't have a photo of a Funk B75L but I'll post one of a B-85C just so the general outline and appearance will be documented.
