Discounting the newly restored two seater Buchon ‘Red 11’ (which I must say looks very nice indeed).
How many are there left at Sywell?
I’m sure I saw pictures of two at least, one being a single seater marked as ‘Yellow 7’ and another one which looks like it once carried the US reg ‘N4109G’.
Are these due for restoration any time soon/who owns them?
Regards
Chris

Does anyone know what has become of the Allison-powered Boschung proposal? Are there still some progressing or will they now all fly with Merlins?

They are in good hands again and no doubt nothing will be spared to get them back in the air for Battle of Britain film recreation at an airfield near you.
Those engines look AWESOME as Kermit would say 2 KOOL

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for that information. It will be great to see them finished in the next few years if the promptness of the Twochun restoration is anything to go by!
Thank goodness they were kept in storage safely for all that time, no doubt has preserved them well.

In the kermit weeks Vintage V12s video he shows the Buchons merlins under work at the shop! If i remember rightly he said that two of the engines are heading to the UK!
They will look stunning!
