Sorry to say but the Lancs major has been put back a year, so no change of markings until 06. We are still lookings at various sqns, but without giving anything away we are 95% sure of what its going to be.

Great pictures brings back some nice memories of my time with Black6.
I was in the Lanc at North Weald and I have the video footage taken that day, the camera was fitted on the flare chute extension of the Lanc and only filmed the 2 109’s during the display.
Those were the days!!!

1 There is no time scale

2 Yes and why not

3 As said earlier it is a spares recovery program and there is nothing wrong with BBMF having a spare fuselage and wings,flying is a different matter at the moment

TE311 yes the fuselage is being restored to an airworthy condition,as are the wings, but at the moment it doesn’t mean its going to fly.

TB382 has been completely stripped,struck off charge and any spares recovered will support the other Spitfires on the flight. Out of the two she was in the worst condition with a lot of corrosion and dummy parts to make it look complete ie fibreglass panels,spinner etc.

P7350 should be back from paint next week with fuselage band removed fuselage roundels to correct proportions and under wing roundels to correct size, hopefully!!

I hope the chief doesn’t see this

Yes, I agree and that’s the whole point, the Buchon is a good stand in while we wait for another ‘Black6’ on the airshow circuit.

It would be nice if someone who operates a Buchon put it into Spanish markings for a change, I live in hope!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing a Buchon painted up as a Bf109 is like seeing Harvard painted up like a Zero, it might look good for film work, but you can’t beat the real thing.

We did the Lucky Strike ad with no number on the fuselage that was added (blue 8 ) for ‘Over Here’.

Red 3 was for the Land Girls film which she was in for about 10 secs

I can tell you, he is still with us and he will be handing over to Sqn Ldr Rowley at the end of the year.
I will pass on your best wishes when I see him tomorrow.

The two mistakes I noticed when I looked at this set are
1) The info on the box states that the Mossie used 2 V10 Merlin air cooled engines.
2) The Lanc has no mid-upper turret but still has the the shape of the fairing etched into the fuselage

A lot of money for something that is so wrong, oh! and they got the canadian lanc wrong as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P7350 roundels

Mark V

I have checked both fuselage and under wing roundels this morning and as you suspected both are wrong. The fuselage roundel is 36″ with a 9″ centre and the u/wing is a 36″ ‘D’ roundel which has a 12″ centre. The a/c was painted at St Athan and they were supplied with the correct info so I don’t know what went wrong. I believe she should have 50″ u/wing & 35″ fuselage we will sort this out over this winter servicing. Many thanks for noticing these errors because I didn’t spot them, but then I have 12 a/c to look after

Yes we know about the fuselage band and if time allows it will be removed this winter I will look into the underwing roundels.
I like to think that over the past eight years we have made vast improvements with our colour schemes, no more gloss paint, correct stencils etc. The Lanc & AB910 are two such examples.

Anyway talking of the purest warbird Black 6 was the one for me original engine, instruments, weaponary even the correct end fittings on all of the hoses. Shame she still isn’t flying, but thats another story
