These were all Tallichet machines, at Ken Sternberg's shop. The P-38 is currently sitting at Chino, owned by The Fighter Collection in the UK, according to popular legend, and possibly up for sale again. The Spitfire was a Mk XVIII, and subsequently changed ownership, crashing fatally in California soon afterwards. The numerous Tallichet P-39s are still doing the rounds - I'm not sure what hppened to that particular one.
