Description
This Messerschmitt Bf-109 was one of two that were at Duxford for the Flying Legends this year (2014). Both of these aircraft flew both days.
The Messerschmitt Bf-109 (Me-109) made its maiden flight in 1935 and came into service in 1936. It was the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with a total of 33,984 air frames being produced between 1936 and April 1945 (Wikipedia).
I don't know the exact details of the history of this aircraft, the announcer talked about it, but I didn't record it, so I will leave it at that.

A very good capture of this iconic plane Sig.

Ohh ... it's not a ME 109! It's a Hispano Aviación HA-1112 (Buchon), built in Spain under license, and after the WWII !

What a gorgeous old plane. Beautiful shot.

Nice capture, but SilverBlues is right: it is the postwar Spanish built Buchon fitted with the mighty Rolls Royce Merlin engine ! Peter

Gorgeous shot of an Old War Bird!!! Seen a couple over the years but they were all grounded displays.

@SilverBlues & lembrechtsart: Thanks for clarifying this for me. I knew that this wasn't an original German-built Bf-109, the announcer said so, and I knew that it didn't have an original German-built engine but a Merlin. But I couldn't remember all the details and I couldn't find anything specific on these two aircraft in the Flying Legends program. Despite the fact that they are post WWII aircraft, they looked good. I had never seen one in flying condition before, just static display! Thanks again guys!!!.

It always amazes me that there are people who can just look at that plane and know all that bit about the Spanish and whatnot. I wouldn't even be able to verify that it was a Messerschmitt! I'm good with "it's a plane," but man ... all that arcane knowledge ... !!! It's a good picture, and I'm glad you had a good time! :)

A fantastic photo of that WW II legend. The Collings Foundation is refurbishing an old Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe. The test fights have been successful so far!
