It's not a real me109, it was built in Spain under license. As a replacement engine comparable to the DB605A they used the Hispano-Suiza 12Z-17. Aircraft with this engine were designated HA-1109-K1L (65 being produced). In 1954 Hispano Aviacion re-engineered the airframe to accept the Rolls-Royce Merlin 500-45 and produced the HA-112-M1L. Spain continued using the HA-1112 operationally until late 1967. Nice shot.
