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

Sounds like the one from Arlington that Peter Houghton had.

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

Do you want to find locations of displayed, stored or active aircraft? Then start with the The Locator.
Do you want to find or contribute to the documented history of an aircraft? If so then start with the Airframes Database.

We are assembling one now in Texas. can you guys put me in contact with who is in Schellville? These are the only 2 that are over here at this time.

P-2, not P-3 Mike - a different beast entirely!

Martin,

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

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.

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.
