Thanks for the replies. Some replies to your replies:

I could use that seat off that Massey. Send it to me would you? LOL

 I have dibs on the seat if Helgi decides to let it go, which he won’t. Should fit my Massey F40 ;-)

not much left of the airplane in the second pic…..

He picked up that propeller for some reason or other. Maybe make a giant, dangerous fan?

 Right on the ocean? Hence, all the rust?

This area is all fjords. Seawater, yes, but long fingers of ocean reaching inland. Some places the fjords are so big it looks like open sea.

OK I have a question ? why do people live there and what is the way to make a living there -- what do You dig with a backhoe there ? ice ?

do you have dirt there? signed curious from Iowa in the USA -- Roy

Start digging and you run into rocks very quickly.

Dad was stationed there for a short time in WW2. He liked it, said the folks were very friendly. Thank you
