Essentially the ex-USAF museum Buchon with a DB attached.

'tis Buchon C.4K-64, being restored by Achim Meier in Germany for the Fighter Factory.

I'm sure Dave M2 would comment, but he's too busy being entertained on the Patterson / Parker Royal visit at the moment! :lol:

Thats cool. So they have an E and a Buchon. Was that Buchon to 109 conversion that just flew theirs?

Back in Blenheim this afternoon, relatively unscathed. 8)
Mike is correct re the ex USAFM Buchon conversion to G-6, using some original 109 parts from Russia. It hasn't flown and won't in the near future as the engine has to be rebuilt. The Buchon conversion that has recently flown in Europe is owned by the MAC and is marked as RED 7. Jerry has a 109E-7 under long term rebuild to fly and also is part owner of another Gustav being restored to museum standard.

Messerschmitt Air Company based at Altstadt-Degerfeld. I don't have any update on the Flugwerk engine haul, if you mean the new ones sourced in the East.

I heard recently on another website I belong to, that Claus Colling at Flugwerk is starting on the Messerschmitt's now, E's and G's I believe, now that the first batch of Fw-190's are done....
