                                     The P.136 was produced in two versions.  The L-1 with 270 hp Avco Lycoming GO-480-B
                                     engines and the L-2 with the GSO-480 supercharged power plant.   It was marketed in the
                                     US as the Royal Gull by the Trecker Corporation who, in fact, assembled the aircraft in their
                                     factory in Milwaukee from components supplied from Italy.  The above example is a resident
                                     of Van Nuys Airport, Southern California, and is seen here during an air show in 1997.
