I saw the wings to this aircraft four years ago in Nova Scotia. They were supposed to have been restored here. They were in a purpose built jig ready to be re-built. They were offered for sale at this time by the company re-building them, due to a dispute.
Ultimately this was cleared up and the wings were shipped back to NY, I presume. The wings do require a complete re-build.TD135 was built as a low-back and has been re-built as a high back.There was a picture of it in Warbirds International a number of years ago.
Troy, you should talk to the Lanc experts at ACAM.
