N109ME

Used

With no German engines available after 1945, versions used the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Altogether there were nine different Spanish variants using either of the two engines. Production ceased in the spring of 1961. Many were sold into private hands and are still flying in the air show circuit. The installation of the upright V-12 engine makes the nose contours of the HA-1112 quite different from those of the original Messerschmitt Bf 109G, hence its nickname “Buchon” (pouter pigeon). The Buchon are popular performers and are among the only surviving examples of the famous German aircraft that can be seen in the air.

The HA-1112 airframe is a Spanish-built version of the famous Messerschmitt Bf 109G fighter.
