His L-2 is probably the best-equipped L-2 in the world!
wouldn't it happen to be the one I once saw at Amelia Reid's Aviation in
Reid-Hillview by any chance?

It could very well be. It was Ken Hershberg -- his L-2 is blue
fuselage/yellow wings, with prewar US ARmy markings.
The French were reluctant to let him through French airspace in a
"foreign military" plane. Once he got to Israel, he dismantled it and
sent it airfreight to LAX, where he reassembled it and flew back to
Silicon Valley. He used to keep it at Hollister.
