Messerschmitt Bf 109 replica seen on display at the Torbay Aircraft Museum
Messerschmitt Bf 109 replica seen on display at the Torbay Aircraft Museum

A replica Messerschmitt Bf 109, used for filming - displayed from 1972-1988 at the Torbay Aircraft Museum in Devon.

The museum was founded by Lincoln born radio DJ Keith Fordyce, but sadly closed in 1988, with the aircraft either being dispersed or scrapped.
G-ALFT was sold after the closure of the museum in 1988 to the Snowdon Mountain Aviation Museum, located at Caernarfon Air Park. However, sadly, the aircraft was later broken up.
