The Spirit of Adventure - Michael McCafferty

All I can say is that it was a great pleasure to see my beautiful biplane again after
almost two months. It had been shipped by rail, truck, ship and winch, and had arrived
after travelling more than 4,000 miles to its final destination without a scratch. It had
survived numerous opportunities for disaster and yet came through with flying colors.
What a great airplane!!
After the work was done, we returned to the hotel for some refreshments, and
spent the evening quaffing beers with some Brits who were in town for the air show. I
met a fellow Irishman named Brian Duffy whose uncle runs the airport at Knock, in the
west of Ireland, and made a note to look him up when we arrive there.
The rest of the evening was devoted to figuring out how to get a photograph out of
my new digital camera and onto my web site so that others could see it!
