These are  photos of the "Willy Victor" at Rantoul, taken by Gerald Durbin.  Gerald has made this a true labor of love.  With the assistance of his wife, Phyllis ( shown in the first photos of this series ) and a number of fellow shipmates ( and their wives ) who have given much time and talent to the project, a Phoenix has risen out of the ashes.  From a seemingly unbelievable and somewhat hopeless looking hulk, rotting out in a field and filling with huge deposits of bird dung, these men and women, under the leadership of Gerald Durbin have made this "Willy Victor" the only one on the planet suitable for hands on display, inside and out.

 

 

A hardy thank you and well done Gerald!
