Quite a few of the surviving '109s' are actually Hispano HA-1112
aircraft that were built post war with either Hispano-Suiza or
RR Merlin engines.

The one used in Memphis Belle was a Spanish built example with a Merlin
engine flown by Mark Hanna of the Old Flying Machine Company.
Unfortunatley Mark lost his life in this very aircraft a few years back.
