I don’t know the real reason for the sale of G-ADPR, but I know at the time it was very controversial decision, given that the aircraft had been restored by Hunting aviation only a few years earlier. I have fond memories of the late Angus McVitie displaying the Gull at Old Warden shortly before its departure.

Welcome to the forum Andy.

Your first post suggests you were involved with the filming of Battle of Britain, if you have any memories or images from that time please feel free to post them here. 🙂

This a link for the victory air Museum Buchons, I couldn’t find the original WIX thread.

I must have missed this post first time around, so apologies for dragging it up again.

PZ865 did fly in Angels One Five, the photo of PZ865 posted by Mark12 was taken at the Hendon air display of 1951. PZ865 is easy to spot in the film as its the only Hurri with six individual exhaust stubs and no radio mast. It also appears un coded at the start of the film as Septic’s aircraft.

P2617 also appeared in the film, there is some speculation that it was also flown during the filming although confirmation of this has proved impossible to find.

The photo of LF363 in US B markings was taken on 17 Sept 1961 at Coltishall for a 56 squadron Battle of Britain day Flypast, perhaps this is the reason why the BBMF literature always states that LF363 flew in Angels One Five.
