Trying to contact Michael, from Cambridge, Ontario, reference # 8710, in a message dated 11/25/04.

He refers to high resolution photographs of BeeGee's that he owns and that can be found at SkyWorld Aviation in Canada.

SkyWorld doesn't seem to exist anymore. Does Michael? Urgently need high resolution BeeGee photographs.

Can anybody help?

I have several prints of the bee gee R2 and E model that are printed on cotton rag archival paper with pigmented inks. These images are from my collection of original negs of the Bee Gee. There are also burned CD's (High Resolution) avaiable from SkyWorld Aviaiton here in Canada.

NC11044 was the Model E my grandfater was killed flying (1931). He was doing aerobatics at Candler Field (Atlanta Airport) Johnny Kytle was one of the original Air Mail pilots hired by Pitcairn Aviation which later became Eastern Airlines.
