Marchetti 226 has been purchased by one Dan Mairani in California, dont know which part of California as he didn't say. He did mention in his e mail that he was keeping it in its Irish colours and wanted the history of the aircraft. Haven't heard anymore from him since.

Judging from the pictures you would not think it was a 32 year old machine.
