    Page 105 of Bob Rudhall’s first book ‘Battle of Britain The Movie’ says that the CASA 2.111 was a full size replica produced by the guys at Pinewood Studio.

    In fact in his article in Warbirds Worldwide (RIP) issue 5 ‘ The pinewood aircraft factory excelled itself when it produced a one-off full size replica of a Heinkel 111. It weighed six tons and was complete down to the last minute detail. This particular replica was used in the film to simulate a crashed He111’.

    As I said before, I am sure it has spent some time at the South Yorkshire Avaiation Museum at Firbeck…

    I need someone to confirm this.. but, I thought the nose section spent some time at the South Yorkshire Aviation Museum when it was at Firbeck in the late 80’s.

    It was being restored. I have some pictures of it somewhere…

    The first picture from the last set you just posted must be worth a caption competition?

    We are thinking about mounting her on a pole outside by the museum shop.

    Why??

    I thought you only did that to plastic aircraft..

    I’m sorry. But I think that is a waste…. As I can see from the pictures of the interior, it is being lovingly restored. Only to be left outside?? On a pole??

    I think I have found PS915 ‘in action’ in the film.

    Hopefully Mark12 can confirm.

    It looks like a PRXIX and it is carrying the codes AI-A….

    A shot taken from the ‘Polish Squadron Scene’

    Note the bottom three planes are the ‘Hurrismitts’.

    In fact there have been many images of these Buchons published through the years. You just need to know where to look.

    Good pictures anyway. Have you got anymore to share?

    Certain identifying features?

    Yes, I just found it…

    Bob Rudhalls first book.. page 131.

    TB382.. 3 Blade prop. 6 Tubular exhaust stubs. No wingtip nav lights..

    Mind you SM411 is identified the same!?

    BUT I have found another picture of it in my collection as DO-M.

    No, not a Markaddie.

    A high back Mk XVI – TB382.

    Mark

    Any reason why?
