Your Me 109 is a Spanish-built Hispano HA 1112 Buchon with a Merlin engine. I have to agree with Bjorn that it looks awful compared with the genuine article.

Sorry. Hagar has explained already, I should have added some text as well as the link.....

Quote:

The Cavanaugh Flight Museum's Me-109 was built in Germany in 1943 and shipped to Spain that same year as part of an agreement for the licensed production of Me-l09s there. Hispano Aviación, under obligation to supply the Spanish Air Force with fighters after the war, was unable to secure any Daimler-Benz DB 605 engines and instead fitted these planes with a British Rolls-Royce Merlin. Designated the HA-1112, this aircraft served in Spain until 1967. The Me-109 is painted in the personal colors of General Adolf Galland, one of Germany's most famous World War II aces. This aircraft has appeared in a number of films including “Memphis Belle”, “The Battle of Britain”, the H.B.O. film “The Tuskegee Airmen” and the British T.V. series “Piece of Cake”.

Interesting. All I know is that its an airplane. The website however claims it was built in Germany but then shipped. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm terrible at aircraft recognition.

One should sue the museum for fooling the public with a bastardised 109... Tongue
