On display at the Museum of Flight. This Emil has been reconstructed in 1973 using a Swiss Bf-109 cowling and engine mated to a Spanish HA-1112 airframe. The aircraft is painted in the markings of Hptm. Hans "Assi" Hahn, Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 2 "Richthofen" during the Battle of Britain. Shot down in Feb 1943 as Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 54 "Grünherz", Maj. Hahn survived the war in Russian captivity with 108 victories, which included 53 Spitfires in the west.

In Jan. 1945 Wiener-Neustadt was one of 39 sites producing Bf-109s and was bombed 28 times during WWII. In the same month, Uffz. Herbert Maxis was flying 784993 in IV/JG53 as part of Operation Bodenplatte when he attacked an American convoy near Ober-Felsberg in the Saarland but was shot-down by ground fire. Maxis belly landed the plane successfully but was shot by an American soldier as he exited the plane. The wreck was later buried but re-discovered in 1987 and used, along with from parts of many different authentic 109s, for the restoration of 784993, which is now on display at Aviaticum.
