That would have been Hans Dietes? DB engined Buchon, famously flown with Black 6 off the wingtip of the BBMF Lancaster, with a Spitfire and Hurricane on the other side at North Weald around the same date, May 1995, probably the only time anything like that has been performed, has anyone got any photos of that event, I’m afraid I only have it on video.

I must find / trawl / scan some of my slides… I was at N Weald in 95 and vividly remember standing at the front of the crowd line right abreast the Lanc as it cranked up… I remember thinking ‘I hope that beastie doesn’t decide to shed a prop’… 🙂 funny the stuff that goes through your head…

It was a great display by all involved, and a great novelty to have the 109 formed up with the Lanc & Spit.
