Buchon G-AWHE "RED 8"/"RED3" Pictures/info wanted

As you might have read in some of the magazines, we are trying to find images of Buchon G-AWHE in its colours from the “Battle of Britain” film in 1968. The late Robert Rudhall listed it as appearing as “RED 8”, but thanks to a prompt response to my appeal, I now have positive information that it also featured as “RED 3”. This is probably simply after a modification of the figure 8 into 3 as they were only fablon stick-on codes, sometimes overpainted when they needed more “Yellow” aircraft for example. If anyone has any images of this aircraft in its FILM markings either in the UK, Spain, France or even Texas we would be very grateful for your assistance. The aircraft does seem to have a couple of distinguishing marks as it would appear there may have been another, different “Red 8” in Spain at the beginning of filming. If you don’t want to post them you can contact me via [email]admin@arc-duxford.co.uk[/email] and yes they do know who Roobarb is! 😉

Here is a picture of it at ARC recently
