Cessna 170 Video?

[CAS]

I am planning on doing some restoration work on my C170A and have been looking around for ideas and pictures of original (ie. 1949) interiors - colours, trim, etc.

Being on the other side of the world I don't have many other C170s to look at "in the flesh" (there are only 5 I know of in Western Australia and about 18 in the whole of Australia) and I got to thinking

"wouldn't it be nice if there was a video of the C170"

Some time ago there was a discussion(?) about how the association's funds should be spent. Perhaps this would be a project for TIC170A (to produce a C170 video) that would be interesting and educational for C170 owners, prospective owners and pilots.

Things to include - exterior and interor shots of all years/models, interesting mods, aircraft in flight/formation, flyins, bush strip ops, things to look out for when buying a C170, examples of original colours, trim, etc. I'd like to see that limbo competition. C170s on floats and skis ....

Hey, maybe there would be enough material for 2 videos

BTW: Have you noticed that the 170A is the only 170 model mentioned in our association's (short) title? TI C170A

The video idea is really great hope that is can be done some day, and hope that i can send a video cassete at least to be part of it with my C170A.
Kewl someone noticed that, i didnt figured it out!

I am involved in digital video production and would be willing to work on such a project, but I would need some organizational folks to round up the different airplanes, etc. It could be done very reasonably.

I am already working on a similar thing for super cubs.
