Me109 G-12 from Hanger 10 to star at Battle of Britain Air show at Headcorn

Should we call this a ‘Buchon G-12’ when it has its Merlin fitted and a ‘Bf109G-12’ only when it is operating with the D-B engine?

Nice footage from the formation flight. I wonder why that rear seat was empty though, have they flown with a suitable load of ballast in the back yet?

If you come to the Battle of Britain show don’t forget to visit the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum at the eastern end of the airfield. We are open on both days with free admission. It is hoped that the Fi103R-4 Reichenberg will be on display in the museums new display hall. Also the museum has an excellent shop with a large range of books, die-cast & Airfix. We also sell air band radios.

They’ll perhaps fit the DB605 if they get paid enough. ; )

Hangar10 had the aircraft test-flown yesterday in the Buchon configuration, and there are some nice air-to-air photos to the Hangar10 Facebook page – Klaus Plasa flying the Buchon/Bf-109G-12 in formation with Rob Davies in the Hangar10 Spitfire Mk.XVIII (https://www.facebook.com/Hangar10-274625062665594/):

Got to admit, the more I see it, the more I’m actually liking it.

Like Whitney Houston once said, “It’s not right, but it’s OK”….. :p

I guess you missed this discussion: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?142292-Hangar10-will-use-QEC-system-for-their-Bf-109-G-12

I’m confused. I could have sworn I saw a video some time ago of a DB605 powered G12. Is my memory playing tricks on me or is there another one?

i saw the 2 lancs at headcorne there was a main military vehicle display and the airfield is a grass runway surrounded by trees and roling countryside its a lovely setting.Dont stand next to the miniture tank rides tho if your video the show they are very noisey and doesnt stop all day …knobs lol

What is Headcorn like as a venue? I’m going on the Saturday.
