This was the original item created at the Albatros factory in 1918.https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0082_edited.jpgUnderside port wing. This was the only place where the lozenge camouflage was noticeably irregular compared to the rest of the airframe. To my untrained eye this looks like a patch job, but was it done in 1963 or 1921 or 1918?https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0070_edited.jpgand these incredible examples of WWI wartime propaganda juxtiposed beside another piece of exceptional glasswork.https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0066_edited.jpgDid I mention the unbelievedly gorgeous stained glass? :) It makes getting the white balance rather tough for poor photographers like myself, but the natural light gives a warm glow to everything in a building that hasn't changed much since 1921 when it was built expressly to house the Fokker, and ceremoniously opened by then-Prime Minister of Canada Robert Borden. https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0062_edited.jpgThere were a bunch of other war trophies within the museum, including this mortarhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0059_edited.jpgThe engine bay appears complete to me, but I'm no experthttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0055_edited.jpgUndercarriage detail. I was quite taken by the quaint Boy Scout mounting technique. Seriously. Is that a square lashing or the prototype for a bungee cord?https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0050_edited.jpgThe cockpit area seems to be completely intact. Sadly my detailed pics of the dual spandaus turned out poorly.https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0035_edited.jpgNow I'm quite certain nobody has dusted here recently, and the lighting is less than perfect, but there is a helpful stairwell on the NE corner of the building that allows one to see the topside of the aircraft. I used one of those small "gorillapod" travel tripods to wrap around the stairwell railings. A very handy gadget even with my rather heavy Nikon D90. Note that the aircraft is not pristine. There is noticeable fabric damage in a few areas, including the top of port wing visible here. I'm glad nobody has tried to fix it in the interests of "restoration". 2016-02-19T21:42:08+00:00monthlyhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/2015/02/19/from-the-cbc-radio-archives/https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/basecamp_edited.jpgBase-camp for the 2004 marmot release, Haley Lake Ecological Reserve, Vancouver Island2016-02-19T19:40:06+00:00monthlyhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/2016/02/16/2009-twenty-two-days-in-alaska/https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/promising-locations-cropped1.jpgThese were the spots that, to me, looked "promising" for marmots..https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/location1.jpgI was based in Cordova, but my "study area" was Montague Island.https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0641.jpgAlaska_8_May_064https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0631.jpghttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0621.jpgsee?https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0611.jpgI loved this placehttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0601.jpghttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0591.jpghttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0581.jpghttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/alaska_8_may_0571.jpg2016-02-16T19:42:09+00:00monthlyhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/2014/05/25/2013-comox-air-show/https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0037_crop2_filtered.jpg...ooh...the fast-movers arrive...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0987_crop.jpg...and stylehttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0981_crop.jpgGrace...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0972_crop.jpgPrecision...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0822_crop_filtered.jpg...to show that professional flying means...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0739_crop.jpg---while others warmed up...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0721_crop.jpg...and two brothers who became close...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0673_crop.jpg...while the air was filled with yellow perils...https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0638_crop.jpg...these fellows got the best seats in the house....https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dsc_0634_cropbw.jpg...to help appreciate the rich aviation history at Comox...2016-02-16T03:01:16+00:00monthlyhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/2016/01/30/2007-three-days-at-atlin/https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/view-from-atlin_2.jpgView from Atlinhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/terrain_1.jpgThe terrain was just fantastichttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tern_1.jpgNice common tern https://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/steamboat-mtn-and-surprise-lake.jpgSteamboat Mtn and Surprise Lakehttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/remembrance-at-atlin_2.jpgRememerance at Atlinhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ptarmigan_2.jpgNice female ptarmiganhttps://andrew-a-bryant-services.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/nine-thirty-pm.jpgWhat is it about civic clocks?
