Messerschmitt Bf109 G-12 Testflight 25.06.17

[@buines2007]

bouchon or not its a interesting airplne, the main cell is a bf 109 g2-4 or 6, , in this particular case with QEC System (Quick Engine Change)

[@zenonkolacz3004]

Not really a Bf109 is it with a bouchon or Merlin engine under the cowel, is it. Still, good to see it fly

[@tobiaskrause4333]

it has a Quick-Engine-Change-system. They can fly with a Merlin or a DB605 :)

[@danabrahams7892]

you are so right ;(

[@excelsiorcornetband]

They were all Bf109s, whether fitted with a R-R Kestrel, Jumo 210, DB601, DB605, P&W Twin Wasp (Bf109V21), BMW 801 (Bf109X), Jumo 211, Hispano-Suiza, or R-R Merlin. This argument has outlived its usefulness. And when you own one, you can put any engine in it you want. :-)

[@GameDevNerd]

It looks like a real Bf-109G-12 airframe to me ... problem is, no one can manufacture an exact working replica of a DB-601, 605, etc these days. While we've surpassed the 1940s aviation technology with jet aircraft that would seem like alien technology to WWII aviators, we really can't build piston-driven internal combustion aircraft engines as good as they could in the 40s lol. Weird but true.

[@GameDevNerd]

This may be a Hispano Aviacíon HA-1112, which was basically a licensed version of the Bf-109G12 airframe using alternative engines (such as the Merlin). If that's the case, it's actually not a 109 but a very close cousin. 🤔

[@LindaMueller-q9g]

My dad flew one of these in the war would like more info. Thanks

[@thorstenh.8885]

Absolut Klasse !!!

[@GregPascal]

The Buchon was a G-2, not a G-12. The two seaters had different designations.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Greg Pascal It was a Buchon rebuilt into a G-12 by the owner. They also arranged to have both the DB engine and a Merlin engine package made so that they can save wear-and-tear on the rare DB-605.

[@NachtJaeger110]

Tolles Video. DIe G12 ist auch mit Merlin was ganz besonderes! Es wäre wirklich mal interessant zu sehen wie sehr der Pilot beim Start in die Seitenruderpedale treten muss. Das ist ja gerade der Knackpunkt bei der 109. Würden Sie die offenbar vorhandenen Cockpitaufnahmen vom Start in einem Video zeigen, sodass man die Fußbewegungen sieht? Danke!

[@DuMichauch]

Da kommen wir bald mal zum gucken reingeflogen. Das Ding stammt aus Spanien oder? Aber nett mit den zwei Sitzen. Was kostet denn die Flugminute? Unter 100, 00 EUR oder schon darüber? *grins*

[@darkredvan]

Sehr schön!

[@andrewporter4636]

darkredvan Yuck-eee,who would kick her out of bed for eating cookies, though?

[@knightflightvideo]

Klasse Video! Wurde dieser Testflug wieder von Charlie Brown durchgeführt? Auch sehr schön das die Spitfire und T6 mitgeflogen sind. So eine Formation wäre doch auch was für die ILA 2018. ;-)

[@ASM56]

The video is interesting, but I would like to indicate that it is not a Messerschmitt BF109 but a Hispano Aviation HA-1112, manufactured by CASA in Spain, the bulge of the nose is because it does not have the engine of the Messerschmitt Daimler-Benz DB 601A-1 if not the Rolls Royce Merlin I engine of the Supermarine Spitfire, but put the German escarpments of the stick.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Aniceto Martinez They actually built both engine packages to exchange as needed. (QEC.) They can fly with the Merlin to save wear on the very expensive DB 605. Correct that the airframe was originally a Buchon and the owner had it built into a G-12 version with a DB-605.

[@GameDevNerd]

What type of engine is it running?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+ Aaron Carter It has flown with both a Merlin and a DB-605 by exchanging them. It is good that they keep a Merlin because it saves expensive wear on the rare DB engine.

[@norbertkuehnle946]

Super geil '

[@monsarad888]

Good video and all but comes with wrong title & completely historical wrong paintjob on that Hispano Aviación HA1112 M1L

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+monsara888 They also have a DB 605 engine package for it. It's a Buchon rebuit into G-12. The Merlin package saves wear on that rare DB engine.

[@billace90]

Que impostor. Eso es un buchón español. Como se atreven a hacerlo pasar por un auténtico ME-109? Caramba, más respeto por favor.

[@stefanrichter9162]

Conoces la historia? Alemania suministró a España los BF109 G , pero sin sus motores. La producción de DB605 estaba ya al limite y ese suministro no llegó a producirse. Asi que España disponia de los aviones pero sin sus motores. Al final de la guerra hubo la oportunidad de comprar un lote de motores RR-Merlin a los ingleses. Asi se hizo una fusión del BF109G con motor RR-Merlin. Lo llamaron colloquialmente Buchón. Casi todos los 109 que estan hoy en dia volando tienen su origen en ese lote de BF109 que Alemania mandó a España durante la guerra. A este le pasa lo mismo. La unica modificación que sufrió es que le convirtieron en biplaza. Este tambien dispone de un motor DB605. Asi que le vuelan indistintamente con un morro original (DB605) o con "Buchón" (RR-Merlin)

[@zeewolf4302]

it´s a Bouchon...

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Nope

[@zinnington]

That's a Hispano

[@andreizp1572]

WTF is this frankenstein?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Andrei Praxedes The G-12 was conversion in WW2 for a trainer aircraft. About 500 were converted from existing Bf-109s. This flying example was a Spanish Buchon and the owner rebuilt it into a G-12 standard. i.pinimg.com/originals/89/51/77/895177759b1fe5690ed51369f63a5e89.jpg
