The story is kinda backwards. Pitts S2B is a production aircraft, now S2C. Google Aviat in Afton, Wyoming. The Eagle is experimental amateur-built. Kit form. A very nice acro unit, but not a production aircraft.
Charlie Hilliard....RIP!!

Informal portrait of 260714 Wing Commander Robert Henry Maxwell (Bobby) Gibbes, of Balgowlah, NSW, Commanding Officer of
3 Squadron RAAF, standing while eating a meal at an airfield in Libya, 16 January 1943. S/L Gibbes had taken three days to walk back to safety
after being shot down in the desert behind enemy lines. Note the discarded (but very useful) English Army greatcoat he found in the desert.

"..................leave was given to many of the Squadron’s members who visited Tunis and other places of historical interest. Flight Lieutenant Tom Russell was able to "commandeer" an American sedan and, with a few mates, enjoyed a week's adventurous road-trip into Algeria (suffering a few inevitable breakdowns)."

I am only guessing, but the picture was late fifties, the favourite O.H.V. in British stock car racing at that time was the Oldmobile Rocket

Hey, NovaDude! Gable with nice Ford woody. I'll bet he drove
this a bunch out at his ranch and on hunting and skeet trips with
his wife, Carol Lombard. Perfect vehicle for rough-it gear, eh?
