My first visit to the then Bradley Air Museum was after September 1980, and probably in late October. The museum had been struck by a tornado a year or two before, destroying much of the collection. I have photos of the wrecks, all large, multi-engine things. The intact and presentable machines were displayed in a single, open-ended hangar. I have been trying to visualise it very hard, but I cannot remember a Buchon. instead, I have clear memories of the P2V Truculent Turtle, an F-8 Crusader(which I crawled through, because It didn't have an engine), a two-seat Vampire and other such things.
All this is a convoluted way of saying that presumably the Buchon left before the tornado.
