    Plane named Sweet Pea II

    Given how long ago I posted, and how long ago Hannahnmt tried to contact me, I didn’t dream I would have a response. It would be a shame if he doesn’t get a chance to share his fathers Memories. I never got to see the museum Eddie’s file is stored....hopefully it has been shared with...
