I suspected a “claim to fame” also. I’ve been authoring my own Hollywood Aircraft book for the last eight years
and found no evidence N352JU was used in the film. My own research into the Spanish air force (including letters
to their DoD), shows there were a number of airworthy CASA 352s flying at the time of filming and into the 70s
for that matter.

Thanks, thats fantastic advice and mostly what my gut feeling was. I do agree that around $2-400 for the yoke was what I’m considering offering.

I feel, based on various aviation photo websites, that each photo is worth about $2-4 each, at least thats where the auction values start.

A yoke with a badge though is worth quite a bit more though…I’ll think it over a bit longer. The seller informs me it was the yoke actually used

in the film but since there were three fuselages used its really hard to tell…

I’m meaning military serial numbers, I cannot find out which country had T-34s with an “H” prefix in the serial number?

After some email trading with The Shuttleworth Trust it appears the Eardley-Billing was built by one

HAROLD BEST-DEVEREUX.

He built one flyable and two stunt/mock-ups for ground/studio scenes.

Thanks for the above replies.
