[Swiss Mustangs]

Hi

found these photos on my HDD taken at Tadij airstrip in 1974 and am wondering about the status & location of these airframes:

P-39Q 42-19991
P-39Q 42-20339
P-40N 42-106101
B-25C 41-12442

thanks

They look like some of the Tallichet machines to me, but I'm not sure if Tadji was on his list of recovery locations.

yes - they are Tallichet machines and reportedly in storage

Is this a complete list of all the P39's that were recovered? Is there a list (and pictures) of the airplanes that Dave Tallichet has recovered over the years?

Hi,

Is one of those airframes one that Air Heriatge in Beaver Fall, Pa has ? I know that the P-39 that is there is one of Mr. Tallichet's but at the moment the particular model of that one escapes me.
