HELMUT HILLENBRAND COLLECTION No. 1183. Oldfield Baby Great Lakes (N6754 c/n F263B)
Photographed at Reichelsheim, Hessen, Germany, by Helmut Hillenbrand
Remarks by Helmut
Hillenbrand: "This homebuilt aircraft was finished by John
Peel from Snowhomish, Washington, USA in 1973. Owners after John
have been Gil Nyerges, Vernon R. Godsell of Maple Valley, Washington
and Karen Mitchell of Seattle, Washington. I would appreciate to
hear from the 4 previous owners.
I am a retired Lufthansa Captain and I bought N6754 from Karen in
1985. When I bought her, she had the ancient blue and yellow colours
of USAAF. The little plane flew nonstop to Hamburg in
the cargo bay of a new Lufthansa Boeing 747. In the meantime she
has changed her colours and had some changes like starter and bagage
room. Presently, 2008, I still fly the aircraft."
