An all-white Stinson Gull-Wing that was identified as such
last year, flew over Winter Harbor again yesterday. I immediately telephoned my Dad nearby, and he said he'd
just heard it (!)
Seen from above or below, it presents a unique and interesting wing shape, being strongly tapered.
Never having seen one before, it was like a page taken from "yesteryear", when Stinson Gull-Wings were everywhere. (
75 years ago).
Dr. Libby had a Stinson Gull-Wing on floats, and before the war, frequently landed on Mirror Lake—adjacent to the Wolfeboro museum that bears his name.
But this saga continues, a rare 1937 Stinson Gull-Wing had crashed into a berm on a field in May, 2012—just over the border in Maine. This is a large aircraft, and these are expensive collector-items nowadays...
Was yesterday's sighting the same "crashed" aircraft—
but restored...?
