Black 2 under restoration inside the very interesting hangar at Planes of Fame Air Museum. This Buchon was built in Seville in March 1958. It was formerly flown by Ejercito del Aire as C.4K-77 till it was sold to Gp Capt T.G. "Hamish" Mahaddie of Pathfinder fame as part of 28 Buchons used for filming in the movie Battle of Britain. It was one of 21 given later to Wilson C. Edwards as payment for the flying. In 1981 it crashed at Reno during air races. It was restored to fly for the movie Pearl Harbor, suffering an undercarriage collapse in 2000 after filming.
