Hispano HA‑1112‑M1L Buchon — D‑FEHD (c/n 213) photographed at Duxford on 8 July 1990 by Stuart H Bourne. The image shows the Buchon carrying display code 15 and Luftwaffe‑style markings while airborne.
In flight, gear state — The aircraft is captured airborne; landing gear position is not prominent in this frame but the aircraft is actively rotating or performing a low circuit/airshow manoeuvre.
Identification and distinguishing features — Type: Hispano Aviación HA‑1112‑M1L (commonly called a Buchon). Distinguishing Buchon features include the characteristic chin radiator and post‑war Spanish production nose profile that differentiate it from factory Daimler‑Benz‑engined Bf 109s.
Registration and construction — Civil registration at time of photo: D‑FEHD. Construction number: c/n 213. Spanish‑built HA‑1112‑M1L airframe used widely on the display and film circuit.
Service and ownership history — Built in Spain as an HA‑1112 (c/n 213) and later operated in civilian hands with German registration D‑FEHD during the late 1980s–1990s display period. The airframe has appeared at European airshows and in photo dossiers documenting Buchon movements and owners.
Why this image matters — The photograph records a Buchon in UK display service, showing display code 15 and marking details useful for restorers, historians, and enthusiasts comparing Spanish production variants and their post‑war display identities.
