Whilst looking for something else, I spotted this photo greeting from 1970.
This would have been taken at the Big Spring ranch, Texas, post the BoB film.
It would seem to be yellow 4 or 14 and almost certainly repainted after the film.
Connie has written Me109G Ser. No. 220 on the reverse.
So come on Buchon experts, what can you tell us of its fate?

Hello Mark,
have a look here: http://www.messerschmitt-bf109.de/
Overview > Current list of the spanish license build Bf 109 > Factory number 220 (Marking: Winkel Dreieck, Service no. C.4K-152)
Loosely translated the “Curriculum Vitae” says:
“After end of service with Spanish Air Force this airplane flew in the BoB film with registration No. G-AWHR from 14.05.1968 on, shall have flown with markings “White 5″. Afterwards it was shipped to the US, owner Mr. Wilson Edwards. Registered as N4109G on 09.04.1969 in the experimental category. Nowadays stored in a hangar, not in airworthy condition.”
Text with additional infos (pics) says:
“Pics taken in the early 70 ies at Sheppard AFB, Texas”
It seems to be with ´Connie´ Edwards still.
I hope the information is correct, I do not know anything else.
