That Bouchon is a real oddity. I'd like to know why they chose to mate the RR with the 109. Was cost the mane reason (maybe surplus engines/airframes)or was there some performance gain? I remember seeing a doco on the making of the film Battle Of Britten and they used AC from the Spanish AF in allot of their footage. I thought at the time the noses of the 109's were a bit odd.
