Anybody got any idea of what or how many me 109s and buchons are being done worldwide and what their current status’s are? There are plenty of spits, mustangs and kittyhawks but other than mr allens and ed russels example i can’t think of any other examples to hand considering the massive number built?
Cheers

Hi Guys
Seen the picture of the two seat Buchon (definitely Buchon) in Flypast several years ago when he was looking to sell some aircraft.

You mean a picture like this? 🙂

There already is one…. 😉

I say please no retro fitting, It would be lovely to see the 2 seater Buchon out and about one day though, In Spanish colours not a pseudo Battle of Britain scheme.
Anyone fancy making a replica two seater Bf 109?

As I said, no two-seat Bf109 exists…. 😉
Mind you, I’m not sure there’s be much work, other than retro-fitting the DB605, in recreating the two-seat Bf109G-12….

Wouldn’t be right, though, in my opinion….

Messerschmitt Bf-109G-6 – Werke Nummer 411768 has been restored to display status at the Zadorozhny Technical Museum, Moscow.
I photographed it there in September…..

Someone should point out that they’ll never get it through that gap without removing the wings. That’ll teach them not to build a 34 ft span airraft in a 24 ft garage:D

The rumour was something i read somewhere, that Edwards, besides the BoB film aircraft, might have had an actual dual Me-109.
I have only read about it once, so my guess is, thats its untrue.
Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I know I’ve seen a photo of the dual-control Buchon at the Edwards’ place. I’m pretty sure it is in fact a Buchon.

There’ll be plenty of opportunity for different colour schemes after the almost inevitable landing accidents!!

Or restored in her correct Spanish AF colours as she spent the vast majority of her flying life in!

It looks a bit like the prop blades used on the Junkers-engined version that flew with the ?Yugoslav (or was it Hungarian?) airforce after the war, some of which found their way into Israeli service. Probably off the mark – but if they were going to fabricate a ‘109 prop, why not fabricate closer to the original pattern?
Avia S.199 “Mezek”, built by the Czechs and, yes, latterly flown by the Israelis. I think there are still a handful of these beasts still around.
As for the ex-Connie Edwards two-seater, it would be a wonderful sight in the air, especially in its Battle of Britain film colours….

Two-seater
According to a German forum, the two-seater had recently been sold by Connie Edwards to an undisclosed European buyer and will be shipped soonest.
When more details will be released, I won’t fail to revert.

Don’t think any Aircobra ever flew with that kind of prop, a pic of this
aircraft in flypast iirc last years showed it with a P39 prop but this looks
to be a mock up German prop
Nice airframe anyway

Prop blades are from a P-39 IIRC, and will be replaced when the originals becomes available I heard.

Still, if you didn’t know, it looks damn impressive!

wrong prop and wrong spinner (simplified dummy) 😎
By: Nashio966 - 25th November 2008 at 15:17
im not going to pretend that i know which way the blades were going, but yaaaais that was what i meant… 😀
By: DazDaMan - 25th November 2008 at 15:07
thanks for the pictures mate 🙂
is that the right sort of prop? just doesnt look quite right to me…
The prop “looks” correct, but the blades look to be turning in the wrong direction…
