| Bud Hill PALMER,, MA | I recently picked up a Builders Art Print with frame apparently put out by the KAMAN Co as a promo. Has a little brass plate on the bottom of frame inscribed "H-43B KAMAN AIRCRAFT CORP." It will be for sale at QUABOAG ANTIQUES SHOP in Palmer MA (and , maybe, at Brimfield Antiques show in May. Very attractive .
I have a matching ART PRINT/FRAME for the "HU@K-1" 03/15/2009 @ 12:01 [ref: 23958] |
| Norman Flory franklin, IN | I found an old model of this heli in my father's effects. He was a turbine mechanic in the Army 'back in the day'. Never remember him talking about this particular aircraft, but he may have worked on one.
The model is from a kit No. 206-200, made by the Hawk model company, Chicago 31, Illinois. I am going to see if there is another model available for purchase. Never saw a twin main rotor drive helicopter before, and haven't since, making this a unique and interesting piece of history! 07/01/2008 @ 14:52 [ref: 21735] |
