These planes are very nice from my stand point but I think that if someone in the world has one not to restore it but to put the plane in a aviation museum.

Quite a few of these that were featured in the "The Battle of Britain" were re-discovered in a Warehouse in Britain in 2014 where they were "impounded" over unpaid bills from the movie production. Several restoration groups are negotiating purchase and restoration.

Many of these played Luftwaffe 109s in the film "The Battle Of Britain" (GB 1969)

In 1958, I worked as a tech-rep at Torrejon AB with the 497th. F.I.S. Every time these aircraft took the active, they drew the squadron's F-86L pilots to the flight line to watch them take off, wishing that they could have a go. Nothing like a Merlin in a BF109 to start the dreams flowing.
