Due to arrive at Aerospace Bristol, Filton in early October was a Bristol F2B Fighter, the fuselage and fittings of which have been rebuilt by Andy Crumpholt at Lawrence Airport north of Boston, Massachusetts. The fuselage is one of several original structures recovered from a barn at Weston-on-the Green, Oxfordshire during 1965. More next month. Two of the ex-'Connie' Edwards Battle of Britain film Hispano HA-1112-M1L Buchons that have been restored to flight at Sywell by Air Leasing over the past few years are heading for pastures new. G-AWHM 'Yellow 7' is said to be bound for Germany, and G-AWHR 'White 5' is destined for a new owner in Hungary. Matthew Boddington survived a spin into the ground in the 'Biggies Biplane' Royal Aircraft Factory BE2c replica G-AWYI at Sywell on 2 September with serious injuries. We wish him well with his recovery.
