It's a bit offtopic, but I never quite understood this 'Buchon' thing. Sure the Buchon handles slightly differently (from what I gather, directional stability was worse than on the 109, which already exhibited low directional stability characteristics), but in essence it was just a German built G-series airframe, with a very similar Merlin/HS engine wrapped onto it.
