Welcome, John . . . yes, lots of info at this site, possibly more than you ever bargained for!

But seriously, this is a great forum; I subscribe to a few others, and this is definitely the best one.

Thanks for all your reply's, the first couple of pics were from RIAT 2007 and the other are all from Duxford.

In a couple of weeks time I shall be going on a big boys outing to RAF Hendon which has a very large collection of WWII aircraft, I will do my best to post some pics when I get back.


Regards,


John.

Nice! I'm guessing by the looks of the engine its a post-war Spanish built?

Yes that looks like a Buchon rather than a Bf 109.

And yes I just looked it up on the Imperial War Museum Website and it is a Buchon.

Here is a pic of it on the website:
IWM Duxford - Europe's premier aviation museum : Buchon 109

The Imperial War Museum has several real Bf 109s though.

Thanks Adler. Its nice looking as is the Fw behind it though I suspect the 190 markings are alittle off.

The markings may be bogus, but the paint scheme looks accurate enough.

Question though.... Is this a Bf 109 or is it not? Is it one even though it's been built in Spain and with a different engine? Where do you draw the line?

I myself do not consider them 109s.

It is a tricky subject though, since technically it is a 109 with a Merlin Engine hence the redesinged cowling and nose.

Exactly Adler, that's what I think as well.....to me a Bf 109 has or should have a Daimler Benz engine.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys.

Here are a few more for you to have a skeg at.....


This is a BF109 that was shot down during the Battle of Britain, it was recovered and displayed around the UK after the war,it has ended up on display at Duxford, one half having been restored and the other half left alone.

An FW190 that will be flying again soon...

A Dehaviland Dh9 full size replica...

A couple from the restoration hanger now, the first is a Bristo Beaufighter and the other is a Bristol Blenheim cockpit....

And lastly a beautiful example of the superb P47 Thunderbolt....

Thats all for now, regards,


John.
