Thank you for your help. I have used the search to do some of what i have so far, and also airliners.net.

Could anyone help me with good photos of these as they are now please?

Mustang G-BIXL – Owned at the time of filming & still is by Robs Lamplough.

Mustang N51JJ – Owned by TFC at the time of filming and later registered G-BTCD. Now with OFMC as Ferocious Frankie.

The SHF P51 was resident in Belgium last year but not sure if she still is. :confused:

Cheers

Buchon G-HUNN – Cavanaugh Flight Museum, Texas, registered N109GU.

Buchon D-FEHD – restored to Bf109G-10 status, now owned by Messerschmitt Foundation, Germany.

Mustang G-HAEC – now owned by Rob Davies, Woodchurch, UK.

I’m sure this has been mentioned before, but why not search the forums for the subsequent fates of these aircraft? I’d be mighty surprised if you found sod-all….
