Geedee is on a distinguished road
Heres a few from my collection....errr, pictures that is !. Mostly taken...OK, all taken (the weather does kinda give the game away !) in the States over the last few years at Oshkosh in 2005 and more recently at the fantastic GOML 2007 last September

Whoever first thought up the idea of painting that great big toothy grin for the first time deserves a well earned pat on the back !. That 'plane was just made for the shark mouth paintwork.

It would be interesting to find out if there was ever the intention to replace the Alison with a Merlin and what difference, if any, that would have made.
