Just thumbing through the latest Flypast, and on page 96 I notice a collection of images of Buchons taken in the USA (at Earl Reinert’s “Victory Air Museum”).
The largest photo shows a brace of Buchons in RAF camouflage and markings. I’m certain that these were used in the filming of the latter two films mentioned in the title – they can be seen clearly in the “RAF” sequences seen in From Hell to Victory.
(I haven’t seen Eagles Over London, so cannot comment, but I’m fairly certain that the flying sequences in From Hell to Victory were lifted from the previous film.)
Fascinating what stuff still appears after all these years!

May not be the thread you meant, but this one from 3 years ago shows the Connie Edwards Buchons in a pretty contemporary state, assuming they have not moved since…
What an astonishing treasure trove !

You wouldn’t happen to have a link for that, would you Septic?
I’m debating whether or not to pick up Eagles Over London on DVD now…

Spot on Daz,
BTW Eagles Over london is now on DVD.
There was a good thread over on WIX about the Victory Air Museum that showed these Buchons.
