Was this the A-26 that resided in DT's back yard?

I think this is the one that was in Air Classics magazine in the 1970's. It had a green WWII paint scheme and they were running the engines up at Chino when it collapsed on it's gear, thus totalling it out. It was later "parted out."

I thought that one left some time ago, like ten or fifteen years ago. Could be wrong though!

That could be as I left Chino 12 years ago.
I remember a rather stock and pretty complete airframe sitting in his backyard. The paint had been stripped.
