My good deed for the day, re: a vintage photo

I recently posted about a vintage photo from my collection that I identified as the actual airplane in our local airplane museum (A rare 1940 Barkley-Grow, one of eleven ever built, three surviving)

Anyway, today I stopped by the museum and donated the print, it has no personal meaning to me (via family stuff) as I simply purchased for pretty much nothing... And they were thrilled, there is a good chance they will use it for a new plaque in the museum, as their current photo of it is not very good...

My last photo of the print, the airplane in behind is the exact same airplane, down to the serial number

I've never even heard of a 1940 Barkley-Grow floatplane. Nice to see the picture & the plane in preservation; that's very neat. It's beautiful really.
 
Amazing!

Thank you for donating this. It really helps to boost the Museum‘s collection and helps to make it accessible for a wide audience. It really makes the community to share items from the past.
 
The world is such a small place of such a random occurrence, thankfully you saved the print and found it's rightful home.
