Thats interesting info (but not intended to be in a morbid sense), I knew
he'd died, but i didnt realise it was this one he died in! Thanks for that
Info.
I read an article in flypast mag a few years ago about the Bf 109 and they
said it was a tricky beast to fly because of among other things, its under
carriage, next time you see a pic of one, have a good look at the
undercarriage; you'll see what i mean!

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.
