Hispano HA-1112-M1L Buchon C.4K-99/G-AWHM was rolled out at Sywell on 15 April, following restoration by Air Leasing. Several days later the former Spanish Air Force fighter was undergoing engine runs. The Spanish-built, Rolls-Royce Merlin-powered variant of the Messerschmitt Bf 109G is one of the cache of Battle of Britain film HA-1112s acquired from film pilot 'Connie' Edwards at Big Spring, Texas during 2014. It has been repainted in its film colours as 'Yellow 7'. This summer, of course, marks 50 years since the aircraft flew from Duxford during production of Battle of Britain.
