Another flying first at Wings & Wheels is The Historic Flying Ltd\u2019s Hispano HA-1112 MIL Buchon. Assembled and painted as Messerschmitt \u2018Yellow 10\u2019 as seen in the Battle of Britain film, G-BWUE will be flying in the five hour air display on Saturday 27th<\/sup> and Sunday 28th<\/sup> August.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Essentially a Rolls-Royce Merlin-engined Messerschmitt Bf109, this aircraft was one of 27 purchased at auction from the Spanish Air Force by Spitfire Productions for use in the making of the 1968 film \u201cBattle of Britain\u201d. Wing tips were squared off, tail struts added and dummy machine guns fitted to the wings to more visually represent the Messerschmitt BF109E of the Battle of Britain period. Upon completion of filming, the aircraft were returned to their owners or, in the case of the Buchons, put up for disposal.<\/p>\n By now registered as G-AWHK, The Historic Flying Ltd\u2019s Buchon was one of eleven taken by Texan pilot and aircraft collector Wilson C \u201cConnie\u201d Edwards as payment for flying services during the filming. It was shipped to his ranch in Texas where it flew briefly as N9938 before being placed on static display in 1971 with the Confederate Air Force in Detroit.<\/p>\n Acquired by the Old Flying Machine Company, it arrived at Duxford in May 1996, re-registered as G-BWUE and sold on to The Real Aircraft Company at Breighton in Yorkshire, who initiated a full rebuild to airworthy condition. The aircraft was marked up as Hauptmann Werner Schroer\u2019s Bf 109G-2\/trop \u2018Red 1\u2019, which he flew whilst serving on the Greek island of Rhodes in early 1943.<\/p>\n Purchased by Spitfire Ltd. in November 2006, G-BWUE moved back to Duxford to be maintained by the Aircraft Restoration Company. The aircraft appears regularly at airshows in the UK and was also used during the filming of \u2018Valkyrie\u2019 starring Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n Jamie McAllister, Event Director, Wings & Wheels comments: \u201cWe love bringing new displays to Wings & Wheels and are thrilled The Historic Flying Ltd\u2019s Hispano HA-1112 MIL Buchon<\/em> is joining the air show line-up.
