Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of or info regarding P-39's and A-20's being restored in Australia and New Zealand? I know Geneseo has a A-20 being restored but I never here much of the current going ons in the Pacific.

Also....are there any know P-400's surviving besides the hulk in PNG?

Thanks,
Nathan

Jack Taft's static project in Michigan is actually P-400 AP335 (Even though the pics are labeled P-39).

In one of those links I noticed the P-39 at Tillamook. I was in Tillamook last summer and saw it and wonder if anything's been done with it since my visit.

If anyone has input on that project please let me know.

Cheers,

David

Actually, I'd be interested in knowing what is going on with the A-20 at Geneseo. It seems that I haven't heard much about it or the remnants of the MARC collection since Dave Tallichet's passing.

Geneseo is getting a replica F6F. I dont know the plans for the A-20 either. Only that right now the priority is the B-17.
