Thanks for posting Pen Pusher,

Its great to see the Oxford in the paint shop, a very small team has put a lot of effort into getting the airframe ready for this moment. This ex Skyfame museum flyer was once owned by Boulton & Paul, and was operated as a company hack.

When I first visited the Jean salis collection at La Ferte Alais in the mid 80’s I seem to remember a couple of very similar Salmsom replicas lurking in the hangar. I’ll try to find a photo if I can.

[QUOTE=Mark12]
It suffered the above damage at Palacious, Texas, on 15 May 1981. The pilot’s name was reported at the time as Gerald Martin. NX9BL of the then Confederate Air Force.

Gerald Martin was one of the CAF pilots selected to fly for the Battle of Britain film.

kenley has now been ravaged by the developers,which is a great shame, as it should have preserved as a definitive bob station.

Quite agree PPete, the developers have developed all the former married quarters, recently a different developer has now purchased the officers mess, which I’m sure will be turned into luxury appartments. Atleast they can’t build on the actual runway. Just look at at whats happened to Hornchurch and Hawkinge. 🙁

Hi Alex,

The Fury replica was built by Viv Bellamy and his team at Lands End for Patrick Lindsay. The wings were made of wood and were constructed by John Issacs (Issacs Fury). The fuselage was I believe constructed from the remains of a Hector Fuselage.

Many years ago I did a report on the replica for Aeroplane monthly, I’ll dig it out again and scan it if you want. BTW there was a very good thread on the forum last year on testing the aircraft by Airbedane.

MK297/G-ASSD was I believe based at Biggin Hill after appearing in ‘The Longest Day’. As far as I know these shots were taken during one of the annual Air Fairs.

Hi Ole Pilot,

I don’t believe any other airforce used the H model Mustang, I guess most were declared surplus and scrapped.

Here is a shot of Mike Coutches N551H aircraft that’s based at Hayward in California. I believe there are only five P51 H models still in existence.

HP,

Sorry to hear you missed out on the US Camel, I found this 2004 photo on the net of The Polish Camel B7280, hopefully the project has continued to progess.

Have you considered the ex Leisure Sport Fokker DVIII replica fuselage, I believe its still in store down in Cornwall, I’m not sure of its condition though.

The Antoinette must be an even harder type to find, the two airworthy Mag Men Machines seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth with a last sighting way back in 1972 at Fairoaks, whilst the other was reportedly exported to Switzerland.

Any chance of a G-FOKK photo.

All the best

I’m told by Mr. Neil Farley of Miles-aircraft.com that detailed design drawings of the Miles M.20 do not survive. I would like to find a schematic of the aircrafts interior layout, with particular reference as to the location of the fuel tanks and ammo boxes.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Nick,
There was a very good feature on the Miles M20 in Aeroplane monthly a little while ago. I’ll try to find the issue later.

My mates grandfather actually helped build the M20 before going off to war in MTB’s.

Great shots Fluffy, I see from the photos that the 109 needed a lot of TLC even when they were brand new.

I was browsing in a local bookshop, when I came across a book on wartime Kent which had a photo of a crashed Stuka beside a broken off RDF mast. The Stukas code began ‘W8′ IIRC. This and the way the mast was broken off at about 20’/30’ (reminded me of an image I think I saw here) made me think it was really from the ‘BoB’ film rather than an actual 1940 image.

Geoff.

Was it this one Geoff.

[QUOTE=Pete Truman]How many of the Buchons used in the BoB film have survived, I know that there is a stash in the US, are the remains of Mark Hanna’s kept somewhere and what happened to the one owned by Robs Lamplough, is this the one at Beighton. I bow to your superior knowledge.

Pete,
I’m led to believe that the remains of the former OFMC Buchon G-BOML were scrapped in Spain.

Peter,

The parts scattered by the B17 are from the Fairey Battle, the fuselage is now with the Medway Aircraft Preservation Society at Rochester airport, I’m guessing that the wings and other bits and peices will follow on.
