Now that's interesting. The article claims that the pilot of the Messerschmitt Me 109 fighter aircraft was Sándor Beregszászi, a platoon leader. but then, journalists...!

Another Hungarian '109'? Gustav airborne and heading to Canada | Key Aero (https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/gustav-airborne-and-heading-canada)

Apparently, according to the experts on the WIX forum, actually a modified Buchon despite the claim of originality. Still lovely though!

Whatever they can make of it, I'm hopeful of being able to see it, one day.
