Except that strictly speaking this is a Hispano Aviación HA 1112

Had the chance to see an HA 1112 last year.

Love the 109 and its Czech and Spanish cousins. It just looks the part. And it probably possesses the award for the most air to air kills out of every aircraft ever.

They look quite different with the Merlin engine, don’t they?

Yeah, uglies up the nose quite a bit.

... albeit that particular unit has been retofitted with a Daimler-Benz engine!
Quite funny, if you think about it.
It had a mishap a couple of years ago, when one leg of the undercarriage gave way.

Was going to comment that the engine is upside down.

“Wingreifen”? uh?
Shouldn’t it have been “eingreifen”?!

Technically of course it’s right side up when it should be upside down....

Yes. That’s why the Merlin-engined aircraft looks funny.
