BluBear Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I believe this was mentioned here a little while ago, when the news first broke that Connie Edwards was finally selling the warbird contents of his Texas barns. Here is a nice little article and a great accompanying video of the man himself and the time capsule of a collection that will allegedly soon be winging it's way to Europe, if you pardon the pun! http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/August/Pilot/f_talltale Quote

2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 21, 2014 2. Administrators Posted October 21, 2014 Looks like Mr Romain and the boys at Area 51 are going to be busy. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted October 21, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 21, 2014 Nice vid, cheers BB Quote
BluBear Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Glad you enjoyed chaps, I certainly did. @Nick - i'm sure I read certain items were headed a bit further south than DX. Meier Motors in Germany has been mentioned. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted October 21, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) They've been sold, happened in August, you can read the next article (if I could paste) by going to http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/August/28/Battle-of-Britain-movie-airplanes-sold Some went to England. Maybe someone could link this to the article. Edited October 21, 2014 by FoolTrottel Fixed the link ... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 21, 2014 2. Administrators Posted October 21, 2014 "An original Mark IX Spitfire that actually flew in the real Battle of Britain is the jewel of the fleet and will return to England." Really - now that's amazing. Especially as that mark didn't go into service until late '42. Still another Mk9 is a good thing regardless. Thanks Pook. Quote
BluBear Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks Pooka. Yeah I read that as Battle of Britain 'movie' which is more accurate. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 21, 2014 2. Administrators Posted October 21, 2014 I'm not convinced Chris. If that's the title of the movie then surely there would be quotes around the title and it would say movie - I have to admit I did wonder but then put it down to over-enthusiastic reporting! Let's face it, getting the type right is something of an achievement! Quote
BluBear Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Well it is true, MH415 was flown to Spain for filming and appears in some scenes attacking the Casa '111's I believe. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 21, 2014 2. Administrators Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah I think I knew that plane was in the film but just the way the article was written referring to the 'real' Battle of Britain smacks of dodgy research. Not that it matters especially. Quote
BluBear Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 As reported from Keypublishing forum: The Buchons are going to The Boschung group of Switzerland, have a look / read here: http://boschungglobal.com/messerschmitt.php After 40 years in a barn will it run? Quote
