Flight Replicas Hispano Buchon Yellow 7 2019 2024-06-04

This aircraft, and many other Buchons, were removed from storage and made airworthy again for the film “The Battle of Britain”. During this time, between 1967 and 1968 the aircraft was placed on the UK register under the ownership of Spitfire Productions LTD. The aircraft made its last flight during filming in December 1968. The aircraft was then sold, along with many others, to Wilson “Connie” Edwards, of Big Spring Texas, and shipped to the USA in a dismantled state. The aircraft remained in storage in Texas until late 2015 when Air Leasing was tasked to collect the aircraft for its new owners and return it to airworthiness in the UK.
