The other one in the US is Shawn Mulligan’s. It is one of the pair that played a ‘German fighter’ in one of the Indiana Jones movies, and still had the fake guns above the nose when he got it. It used to be kept at Schellville, but I believe he moved on from there a couple of years back. Shawn was doing some really nice work on it the last time I saw it.

I remember we boxed up an absolutely immaculate Swiss-registered one at Duxford in about 1987 or so and shipped it to the US. In wonder what became of that one.

Mike, the Swiss registered one was i believe U-138. It came to EL Paso , was assembled and certified, but did not fly often. a couple of years ago, i was hired to drive to EL Paso and disassemble it for shipping to Germany. At that time, we were 2/3 done with the Planes of Fame one, and had tools and jigs to help. It is in Germany, and last time i talked to the owner, he had not begun the process of putting it back together. Shawn’s plane is close, just waiting on final engine work.

Yes the P2 is 109 Gear. If you look at the camber of the wheels, you will see that the left gear on the P2 is the right gear on the 109. The wheel, brake, and strut are the same. the upper casting for the p2 is different. This pic taken just before we hung the engine on the current Planes of Fame P2.
