That article is several months old, and every aircraft in that barn was used and flown in the movie, "Battle of Britain", except for the P-51 Mustang. The whole collection of aircraft has since been purchased by a single aircraft collector from Europe, who is very wealthy.

I am surprised I missed it the first time around? So many great pictures I didn't realize there were that many me 109's real or clones in the world.

It makes one wonder what other WWII aircraft maybe hidden away in a barn or hangar else where in the world, just waiting to be discovered. It's also a shame that a wealthy North American aircraft collector didn't step forward to purchase the collection to restored them, put them on display for all of us in North America to view and enjoy!!
