From memory, as well as the 'Zoo one in Spanish colours (note they're over Battle of Britain Film configuration) other Spanish schemed examples include - one in silver in store in the Canadian Air, Space and Infinity museum at Rockliffe......

Canadian Air, Space and Infinity Museum? :?

Anyway, here's the Buchon in storage in Rockcliffe back in 2006 when it was still the Canada Aviation Museum:

Thanks for the pics! Re Rockliffe, I have a fleece that says "Canada Aviation Museum / Musée de l'Aviation du Canada" but apparently - and annoyingly for someone who likes to get his facts right and doesn't like them being changed - it's now: "Canada Aviation and Space Museum / le Musée de l’aviation et de l’espace du Canada". As per the Men in Black, "What will it be called tomorrow?" 8)

Sigh....

There is no fight here, and if it were, it is not with you.

I posed a simple question regarding the spelling of the name of the base, as it appears on numerous history, geography and military books.

So that there will be no doubt whatsoever:

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE PHOTO, AND I STAND CORRECTED ON THE SPELLING AS IT APPEARS ON THE AIRPLANE.

For "sinister" looks I'd go with the Jumo powered Avia S-199!


Quite right. Personally, I'd like to see at least one Buchon painted in Israeli AF livery. I know, I know, it wouldn't be quite accurate with the Merlin. But it would still be cool. Maybe we could find a Jumo somewhere ... but then we'd have to hunt up a pilot willing to fly the Buchon with the Jumo hung on it. We probably wouldn't be stampeded with volunteers.
