The above shot was supplied by Del de la haye who worked
on the Battle of Britain film for 2 years..and flew in this B-25 with Jeff and Duane Egli a number of times.
The above shot was taken in New Jersey in 1975. This B-25
was used as the cameraship for the filming of the Battle of Britain in England in 1968. At that point, it was owned by Euramericair,
a company operated by Jeff Hawke. Hawke also flew the airplane for the filming. After the filming was completed, a series
of legal problems followed the airplane, not uncommon for Hawke and his airplanes. It was derelict at Caldwell, New Jersey,
when this photo was taken. It went to Tom Reilly in 1977 and was returned to airworthy condition and operated as Chapter IX.
It was later sold, and is now going derelict again, this time at Franklin, Virginia.
The below model was built by Terry D. Moore.
Its an incredible example of the aircraft, with amazing detail.
Thanks for the use Terry
