FAA gave me my Experimental Cert, N1746A, with authority to make my Stage One Flight Test Program .But my general health has deteriorated and I must find a mechanically inclined test pilot.

My Grandfather was stationed at Romoratin during the war and his photo album was a childhood favorite of mine -and remains so to this day. I’ll have to look again to see if there are more SPAD photos. He was mechanically inclined his whole life and so there are lots of engine photos too.
