HA-1112-M1L "Buchon" - 1954 - The final variant fitted with a RR Merlin engine and armed with two Hispano HS-404 20mm cannon and 80mm rockets. Used operationally. 172 built. :) I think!

I would love to see some Me 109's around but the truth is there are very few!

Yep, so many built yet so few to see. I wonder if this years celebrations will bring many German aircraft out to play in the UK.
