In 1942, the Spanish government arranged a manufacturing licence with Messerschmitt AG to build the Bf 109G-2. Spain produced its own models with different engines.
The final variant was the HA-1112-M1L Buchón (Pouter). It first flew on 29 March 1954 with a 1,600 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 500-45 engine and Rotol propeller, both purchased as surplus from the UK. This engine had a chin intake, that altered the lines of the Bf 109's airframe.
Due to their longevity, Buchóns have appeared in several war films masquerading as Bf-109Es and Gs.
