From one of the other groups:

QUOTE
Noted on from the highway on the way home from San Diego: At the county air strip at San Martin, CA, just 15 minutes south of here, a new aircraft is parked under the tower!

B 25 J, OD color, upper turret removed, tail number 7 V. I could not see the AAF numbers. ( I will go down there next week after I recover)

I called them down there and was told that a gentleman from Morgan Hill purchased it a couple of weeks ago in the mid-west and flew it out here last week. It will be based there.

Might be 44-30324 N3161G? Please comment
Kind regards

It sounds like the one you mention (ex-Tallichet N3161G). I heard last weekend that it was parked out at South County Airport (San Martin) but haven't had a chance to get down there yet.

Yes, I spotted it two weeks ago when I was over in the USA visiting my friend who lives in San Jose. Was meaning to post an ID request when I got back, but forgot all about it :oops:

I think that's the same B-25 I saw in a hangar at the MAPS air museum about five yers ago. I definately looked a bit worse for wear even then.

If Tallichet had any money he would have gone to the same source of canopy covers as Bill Greenwood.

Canopy cover? Looks more like a Florida roof cover (temporary shingle)to me!
