I would appreciate any details on P-2's in the USA

There's one just arrived at Schellville this week for rebuild. One of the ex-Salis Indiania Jones movie ones, it came from up in Washington State. N6145U, and c/n 36 according to the data plate

That c/n would be former Swiss AF A-116, later U-116

Martin,

Do you know which one is the ex-Stephen Grey, Swiss-registered one?

Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:47 pm

Martin,
possibly info for N109PL should read constructors number 600-29, ex Swiss Air Force U-109. Constructors number-600-29 applies to G-BJAX ex Swiss Air Force U-108/A-108 which is still in the UK.
Mike,
both NN138U and N206KW were on the Swiss register, N138U was HB-RBA and N206KW was HB-RBE no idea which if either was Stephen Greys.

correct on the N109PL ID.... my typo... mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa :oops:

Stephen Grey purchased U-110 c/n 30 G-PTWO which is still based in the UK with another owner - see http://www.gptwo.co.uk/

The P2 in our hangar in Texas is N5241M, former G-BONE. We are in the process of US C of A and final assembly however still looking for manuals in English. We have English POH and some misc. data. Specifically we would like to find Erection and Maintenance Manuals for the Airframe and Maintenance and O'Haul Manuals for the Argus powerplant. Also parts manuals would be handy. We have tried most sources even in Europe but they have eluded us thus far.

This is a well constructed airplane with some very unique and advanced features for its era. The Teutonic heritage and Bf/Messerschmidt influence is very apparent from even a cursory look over.
