1. euroworld international ltd. biggin hill - was this d.t.'s import company w/ doug arnold?? as they brought in alot of t-6's from europe.

2. world wide aeronautical industries, moorpark, ca - is this d.t's import company??as this out fit brought in alot of t-6 & t-28 planes from south america & then they ended up going down under.

3. combat aircraft inc. - another d.t. owned company?

4. euroworld calif. / miami - was this jeff hawke's company, or d.t's??

5. warbirds of the world, dunnelton, fla. - what connection does this have w/ d.t??

6. any info on charles babb of montreal, quebec, canada, as he ran an export company that sent many at-6's to scandinavian countries from the late 40's through the 50's

Years ago we had a print out at MARC in chino and the list was about 126 aircraft and that was everything from projects to flyers.Sorry I dont have that list.

I'm not aware that Euroworld was connected with either Arnold or Tallichet. I seem to remember that it was connected with Don Bullock (killed in the infamous Biggin Hill A-26 crash in 1980) and Ted White (killed in a T-6 in, IIRC, 1982)

If you are speaking of Combat Aircraft, Inc of Elkhart, Indiana that was a company owned by Ray Stutsman and another individual by the name of Robert Finnerman. They are the ones who brought the Spanish T-6s into the country. I don't believe there was any association with Tallichet.

As Mike says, I too believe Euroworld was a White/ Bullock operation. John Hawke's company was Visionair Intl.

Wasn't this a flying group which included the guy who flew a B-25 through a football field (a doctor named Marshall?)

That would be N10564 - 44-29877 John Marshall was the owner then...no telling if he had co-owners in that aircraft. The NASM was looking for a B-25 for their collection, and he donated N10564 to them. I was in contact with Dewey Miller (former owner of N2825B -40-2168) during this period, and he told me, that Marshall took one last flight in the bird, and decided to do the fly bye bye, and there was really nothing to it. Man, can't do anything in this country any more....I was told by someone else that an FAA Rep was waiting for him at the airport when he landed, don't know if that part of it is true or not.....somebody out there knows the real story.

[gary1954]

that would be the famous Last Flight of N10564 executed by Mr John Marshall
