Roy and Maude Parrett and their Piper Clipper

We made several flights from Victoria, British Columbia- to the Bahamas- first Maude and I, then son Ken, who had a commercial ticket and I ( he was anxious to log the time so he did all the flying!) And he won several prizes in the famous Bahamas Flying Treasure Hunt. A few years later I took the airline to Miami and rented a Cessna Skymaster for the Bahamas trip.
