Yes, I was thinkin about the P-39 now flyin at DX..
u think that it is worth that amount of money, provided u have an extra £750k to take it back to the air 😉

burn damage uh? Not an easy restoration project, that’s for sure..

still a lot more structure than a lot of other aircraft that are now flying!

as Daz noticed it’s more likely a bunch of 109 pieces packed up together.. a 😀

No, it was failry substantial with both wings and a fuselage but with burn damage on the fuselage.

The “quantity” window is too much fun, they prolly have others for sale, surely found in China 😀

The Helldiver cockpit used to be sat on the ground next to Rob’s Venom at Weald for a great many years.

Will they take a check? 😀 (Oh, don’t I wish…)
It would be nice to see it restored in proper Spanish Civil War markings as 6 o 88; dollars to donuts that it gets redone as Galland’s machine, though. 🙁 Plus, those DB605’s aren’t going to do much good on the Emil; it used the 601.

I have some pics of this from when it was stored at the back of Hammonds Garden Centre in Stubbington in about 1984. It is an ex-fire dump machine but not beyond restoration. It was exhibited at Tangmere for some time.

Nobody’s noticed that looks more like a F- or G-model cowling then?

The serial matches the Robs Lamplough one (from WWD Vol 4)
Bf 109E-1 (to Legion Condor as 6•88, then to Spanish AF as C.4E-88)

Spotted this the other day – Pics here
Also ME108 and bizarrelyn Curtiss Helldiver cockpit for sale – no pics of the latter sadly.

I believe that C4E-88 is a Spanish AF identity, so would this make it a Buchon
This is not my field so I’m only thinking out loud
EDIT – Ignore this message, after looking at the webpage below I can see I’m wrong

Sounds like Rob Lamplough’s machine.
