Please Help me Find the Spirit of J&B

I am trying to find any pic's or press coverage of tha Spirit of J&B.

What is the Spirit of J&B you ask?

It was a 1938 Lockheed L-18 that was restored and then in June 18 1987 it with a crew of 4, flew around the world in an attempt to break the record set by Howard Hughes in 1938 with an L-14. The project was a success.

The aircraft was ferried to France (Creil) first where the restoration began then eventually ended up in Reims for finale work. The aircraft made several promotional flights around Europe and Press conferences were held in each of these places.

If anyone out there has any pictures taken of this craft during this period of time or knows of anyone who does...please PM me.

Thank you all very much in advance.
