A Magnificent Man and his Flying Machine

This is my friend the polymath.

When he's not diagnosing bunions or stitching minor wounds he is doing a myriad other things from rearing livestock to building a grandfather clock to cooking pancakes to finding new and interesting things to read to making cider to driving a tractor to playing an ancient melodeon to...

... actually there seems to be literally no end to his talents.

Here he is in his workshop where he is building a plane. It has taken him several years - long enough for him to manage to qualify as a pilot while he did so.

And now its pretty nearly finished..
