RE: Ed Kecks pattern planes
Hi Everyone:
I have just reviewed all the original slides that the pictures in post 5 came from. I now see how it was an easy mistake to make...a case of making assumptions. Just to the left of the toolbox, (out of the frame), is a sign showing Ed Keck's "spot" in the pits. Mister "X" is sitting behind the plane, making it look like the plane is his, but he is actually about 3-4 feet away.
I found another picture showing another gentleman sitting ON the toolbox working on that plane in the picture, but there is another plane close by. I am now working on a new theory that the plane in the picture in post 5 ACTUALLY IS Ed Keck's plane. There is a portion of the sign with Ed's name on it in front of that plane, (but there is another wingtip in the picture so I'm not 100% sure.
I'll scan and post that picture ASAP.
