Interesting Photo Of The Day

What is odd about this photo?

A favorite photo of mine; probably Mindanao during the late twenties or early thirties. This guy means business.

Answer: Not the guy with a bone in his nose, a floral arrangement sprouting from his head and holding a machete. He's at home, so it's the plane that's the oddity. The DeHavilland DH84 Dragon is probably a plane of the Imperial Air Service, which operated in the Southeast Asia at the time. Lack of wheel fairings suggests that it is an early model.
