WW2 aircraft barn find

[PAnderson]

Hello All,

Super busy lately at work, not much time for modelling. An update soon on my 1/200 Missouri. This link will take to an awesome story about the gentleman that owns the Buchon Me-109 fighters that have made the news recently. I had heard about the Buchon fighters but did not know the story behind them or who owned them.

This is the gentleman that does own them and so much more. The photography is superb and there is a movie at the end. Had to watch it twice.

Very, very cool.  Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to have one of those Buchons. Then again, even if I did have the money to buy one and restore it to flightworthy I'd never be able to fly it. Darn it.

wow!

 

Really incredible story, what a collection! I think it's a good thing that all those planes go up for sale now. If they would stay where they are they would probably be beyond restoration at some point. It would be a good thing to see those aircraft back in the air again.
