WHAT THE DUCK!

So, out of pure nostalgia I bough the complete DVD collection of Baa Baa Black Sheep.

One of the joys of the show is the parade of period aircraft.

In the second episode, Best Three out of Five they use a Grumman J2F Duck to mount a commando raid.

While they're getting ready to load up I can see what looks like an honest to God tail-hook on the Duck.

So, I looked it up.

The J2F is carrier capable.

Truly a plane that can land anywhere.

    A very neat little, well, not so little, plane.

    Oh to have one. Would make for a great flying camper.

    But I really want a Widgeon...
