Hispano M4L Buchon
Are you familiar with the Hispano M4L Buchon? If you’re not familiar with Messerschmitt’s iconic Bf-109 fighter G-variant, let us explain. Many consider this to be the ultimate postwar evolution version of the Bf-109 family. It was primarily used as a fighter aircraft by the Spanish Air Force. It was used in scenes from the Hollywood film The Battle of Britain after it was no longer in service. In 1952, the Buchon took to the air for the first time. Spain had to deal with a few non-operational units as a result of a mishandled arrangement with Germany. In any event, the country’s best effort is to make the best of a poor circumstance. Until 1965, it was assigned to the Spanish Air Force. We’ve seen a Buchon on the market, but we have no idea how much it’s worth right now.

Messerschmidt ME-262
In 1941, the Luftwaffe used the Me-262 Schwalbe and the Sturmvogel. The fighter variant came first, followed by the fighter-bomber variant. It was deactivated when the war ended in 1945. This plane was one of the first in the conflict to be equipped with jet engines, making it a formidable opponent. Following the war, Americans used captured units as test subjects. The Me-262 furnished the F-86 Sabre with a lot of technology. There aren’t many of these remaining, and the ones that are still available have a mix of original and reconditioned features. One of them recently sold for $600,000.
