A nice find, but that’s not a Bf-109. It’s a Hispano Aviación HA-1112 with a RR Merlin engine. It’s probably a veteran of the movie Battle of Britain, but not the battle.

I thought something looked funny about it. The exhaust pipes are all up top, like on a P-51, not lower down like on the 109s. Plus the BF-109 had the cannon in the nose, which this doesn’t have.
