Well I don't see an "Edit Avatar" in my Profile, so I'll forego adding our Avion at Sunset pic which some of you may have seen over on Airforums' Vintage Kin membership.
We've owned our 1960 Avion T20 #1413 since June 2012, picked it up in Albuquerque in July 2012 from the PO's who had restored & used it since 2007. We've been doing 2-5 California Vintage Trailer Rallies a year since 2013, enjoying it immensely.
Oddly enough, when we got our T20 we thought it was a just a nicely restored & modified galley example, but when we got that "Silver Beauties" CD, we found some Avion factory documents on there which placed ours as the #2 example T20 off the line, & based on the outlines of the original stove, base rear bumper, etc. - there is a possibility that the T20 in the Avion sales brochure pic below could be ours - but nothing for sure, since they used early production units for such photos.
If any of you out there have been to the Ocean Mesa (Santa Barbara) March, Pismo May, Buellton Sept. &/or Newport Dunes Sept/Oct. Rallies - then you may have seen us, & maybe chatted a bit.
There is more info & pix at our respective posts at the linked topics on Airforums - rather than posting too many pix here. I also included a couple of our `88 Westy at a Rally.

Sorry for the sideways pix, but they really are horizontal in my files, & I don't know why they turned on here, nor how to correct them.

Cheers! :beer2:
