We don't have the name of the person who originally built the Mallard but, we would be happy if someone can name the person, so we can give them the credit due. The photos are showing the conversion of the original Mallard, to a Weather Vane by the High Country Flyers. The conversion was motivated by Norm Bryson and took place in the garage of Norm and Heidi Bryson. The motor cowlings are actually aluminum salad bowls!
