THE ME109
The ME109 demanded respect, and in the right hands proved to be an equal to the best allied fighters in the skies over Europe, initially during the Battle of Britain and later against allied bombing raids. Phenomenal performance and early technological advantages over allied equivalents, the 109 proved an effective fighter throughout its development.
​
The Hispano HA-1112-M4L “Buchon” is essentially a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine Messerschmitt Bf109 built under licence by Spain. Difficulties in obtaining the orginal DB engines saw the fitting of the Rolls Royce Merlin.
​
'Red 11' is the only two seat, dual control Buchon flying anywhere in the world, making this a truly unique warbird experience.
A WORTHY ADVERSARY
This aircraft was one of 27 purchased at auction from the Spanish Air Force by Spitfire Productions for use in the making of the 1968 movie “The Battle of Britain”. Luftwaffe Ace Adolf Galland flew the aircraft during the filming of the movie. After production of the movie was complete it was sold, along with many others, to Wilson “Connie” Edwards, of Big Spring Texas, and shipped to the USA in a dismantled state. It lay in storage there until being moved by Air Leasing LTD to the UK for restoration.
The world's only surviving Hispano HA-1112-M4L two seat dual control Buchon G-AWHC was produced by LaHispano Aviacion in the 1950’s and was essentially a Messerschmitt BF109G with a British Rolls Royce Merlin engine installed.
