Ditto the CASA-111s (= license-built He111) used in the same film.
The Merlins were really obvious. Weren't the Me109s also license-
built by CASA?

A few years back I remember waiting around at our local airfield
(Bournemouth/Hurn, UK, EGHH - the UK's first international, BTW)
for an ex-Spanish AF CASA 111 to come in from Spain after someone bought
it as surplus. We were all pretty upset to learn that it had crashed
en route, killing all aboard. About half a dozen Spanish AF C-47s arrived
in the UK at about the same time; I don't know where they are now.
