Question for Eric

Hi Eric

I've read the Spanish tried to build them under license during the war but the Germans couldn't supply themselves with enough let alone any more.

When were the Spanish Hispano Aviación HA-1109's built with Merlin engines and why?

Did they perform any better than the original?

Thanks

Thanks, so a simple answer it would appear and it performed better as well!

Was that because there was a shortage of original engines or it was simply a better choice?

It's amazing the Merlin seemed to fit so well into various airframes designed for a completely different power plant.
