JensenPark Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 to find some old pics of Parker for a school project and came upon these. I may have shared the first one, but not sure if you've seen the other. from January 2005, me and BG with Col. Cy Yarnell, an old Spit pilot Jim is with one of the old 'bus drivers' who was rebuilding a Halifax in Trenton, Ontario (about 1 hour outside of Toronto). Can't remember the chap's name, but he was a Halifax pilot. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted June 20, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks JP, That Spit has strange landing gear, wheels on one side, legs on the other. BG, looked healthy and trim, sure miss him. Quote
JensenPark Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 good eyes Pook...never noticed that before. Might be one of my boys. Yeah, first time I met Jim and Helen. We had brunch first then off to the museum. Helen sat in the car the entire time waiting..."like a women should" I remember Jim saying...out of earshot of course. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks for showing them again, I had them both in my HD already. Gone but definitely not forgotten. Quote
BadAim Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Makes me a bit melancholy thinking of Jim. I miss him a lot too. Thanks for posting, Kelly. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted June 21, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 21, 2012 ~S~ Kelly M8, Yes indeed it makes you miss Jim for sure. That photo shows an elegant old lady (the Spitfire), two distinguished and accomplished old gentlemen and YOU ! Still it's hard to appreciate the good without the bad Seriously, will I be buying you a beer at Duxford this year then M8 ? ~S~ Mick. Quote
