Historical Background of the HA-1112M-1L Buchón Aircraft

The Spanish HA-1112M-1L Buchón is a fighter aircraft that constitutes a post-war version of the German Messerschmitt Bf 109, produced under license by the Spanish Hispano Aviación company. The main distinguishing feature of the "Buchón" version was the adaptation of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which gave the aircraft its unique look and a silhouette different from the original. The HA-1112 Buchón was primarily used by the Spanish Air Force between 1947 and 1965 and gained further fame when it was used during the filming of the cult classic "Battle of Britain," where it portrayed the "German Messerschmitts."
