A Bi-Plane for Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed in Fall River, Massachusetts.

We spotted this little bi-plane over the cupola on the Bay Coast Bank in Fall River, Massachusetts, at 310 Airport Road.  There is no longer an airport in Fall River, since the municipal airport closed in 1996.  There was a very big landfill next to the airport, and the FAA closed the airport due to the large number of seagulls in the flight path!

This three dimensional bi-plane weathervane is very appropriate for the location.  It is a very intricate metal figure, with easy to read cardinal points. The plane features a propeller which turns in the wind, struts on the wings, and the tail has a rudder.  The bank and this weathervane are visible from nearby highways 79 and 24, and is located right on the corner near the exit ramp.  

For the truly curious:
