The Spanish produced and flew it until 1962 which is where all the 1-09s came from in the Battle of Britain movie. The IAF also used the 109.

I find it interesting that some movies like "The Great Escape" and Von Ryan's Express" used the ME-108 as Me-109s

I guess there were a lot more flyable Taifun's available in the 60's
