Hi Gil & All,
I do indeed collect photos of Commanders!
My collection of prints, negatives and slides numbers just over 9,300.
All of the negatives have been scanned (approx. 2,300) and I’m in the process of scanning the color slides (approx. 2,200 scanned; approx. 900 still to do).
Additionally, I have approx. 17,000 digital images, not including those already mentioned.
Bert Berry also has a vast collection, which comprises over 10,000.
Included in our coverage are a number of unidentified Commanders that we are unable to identify from shots that we have in our collections.
These include a good number of Commanders that have probably been confiscated South of the Texas border and the aircraft s/n plates have, in most cases, probably been removed.
The photographer was there unable to check the s/n, or was perhaps not allowed to inspect the plate, if indeed it was a genuine factory example.
Some shots enable us to at least identify the correct Model, thereby narrowing down the list of possible candidates.
They also enable us to possibly note any modifications that have been made over the years, thereby providing yet further clues.
Therefore, any shots received will always be extremely useful to us.
Even shots of active examples in the USA help, as they will at least enable us to eliminate them as a ‘suspect’.
So, if anybody has any shots, albeit active, derelict, or whatever, then *please* send them in.
They date and location are helpful items of info too, if known.
So, if you’re visiting any new airports, taking a camera with you in case any Commanders are around will be a good idea!
I cannot recommend a good paint shop, but I know there are guys on the chatlist who can help.
Any shots of your 680, whether it’s as N6220D, N96KY, N710TK or N6819Q, will be very welcome as a quick check reveals that I’ve got no shots whatsoever of s/n 680-448-159!
My postal address is:
179 Penn Road
Hazlemere
HIGH WYCOMBE

HP15 7NE
England
Thanks Gil!
Best Regards,
Barry

Hi Randy,
Well, that may be the case, but from where I’m sitting, it most certainly doesn’t seem to be.
Quite often I ask questions and there’s no reply. That’s zilch, zero, rien, nichts, nada – whatever language is used.
On more than one occasion, I’ve asked that if anybody sees a Commander, please photograph it and send it to me.
Probably had less than 10 in all these years.
So, as I said, “what’s the point?
Bert Berry and myself spend countless hundreds of hours trying to identify Commanders from photographs that we garner from all corners of the World.
Little point in trying if we haven’t got up-to-date shots to compare them with.
Regards,
Barry

Hi Barry,
I am pretty quiet on the chat list. However, always enjoy your postings and vast knowledge about the fleet of Commanders out there. Please keep up your excellent “hobby”, as I am sure there many more out there, beside me, that are appreciative (and impressed) with your hard work. Thanks very much.

Barry,
If one gets close enough to the airframe, have a look at the serial number tags on the major components, flaps, elevator, rudder and engine trusses. The serial number of the aircraft is part of the part serial number. This is how we indentified CAX for the issue of a new data plate.
Cheers
Richard
