Evening LM,

This one looks a bit of a "bastard", I seem to remember a Buchon was made to look like a Mustang for some filmwork back in the 70's, I think it was nicknamed a "Messerstang". Weren't there any real Mustangs flying then ??

Probably started life as a HA-1112 KIL, I think that was the one with the four blade prop.

Is it a version of the bf109 or a Hispano Aviación HA-1112 or Avia S-199


.....
SincoTC is correct

The Mustang is the best plane ever

TC, You are wrong mate - two of them were.

Bugger, it's all yours

Sorry Strega, you have to move fast around here.

The Mustang is the best plane ever
I will argue all day with that statement if you wish............

C'mon Strega, that only deserves two or maybe one

skytrain will have a big chest and head if you offer too many accolades, and at his age he may not be able to take it....

Sorry to keep you waiting....a simple one for the evening shift:



As it is an easy one, I will NOT accept name of the manufacturer only (by that I mean I won't comment if you just give me a manufacturers name!)....I need the full name and model.

Anyone tell me what the aircraft is in the background...or even where the picture was taken?
