Don’t know if anyone can help with this, but in the sequence where the Polish training squadron ignores orders and goes into action, the foreground shows three Hurricanes in ‘vic’ formation with other vics behind. In some shots these ‘extra’ aircraft look like Spitfires – but in other shots they look like Buchons… This would make sense as the Buchon is closer in shape to a Hurricane than a Spitfire is, but can anyone confirm which it is? Or is it both? Were there RAF-liveried Buchons used in BofB?

YES!! 😉

There have been numerous photos posted on the forum of RAF-painted Buchons used in that sequence. Have a search and they’re sure to come up (I thought I had them saved on my work PC, but I don’t :()
