Two-seat Buchon ready to fly

摘要

The world's only two-seat Hispano HA-1112-M4L Buchon, C4K-112/G-AWHC, was awaiting good weather for its maiden flight at Sywell, Northamptonshire at the end of September, following a two-year restoration with Air Leasing. The ex-Spanish Air Force conversion trainer has been repainted in the markings it wore during production of the Battle of Britain film during 1968, when a camera in the rear cockpit was used to film the 'Messerschmitt' formation sequences. During a break from filming, Luftwaffe ace Adolf Galland flew the aeroplane, with RAF ace Bob Stanford Tuck in the rear cockpit.
