Ok, so comparing this to Tims photo...

This looks like the Spanish-built CASA (look at the "Jay Leno" chin) and the one Tim posted would appear to be the real thing.

@ Tim: Where'd you find your?

Correct...

IIRC, the Spanish ones aren't which accounts for the extended chin to accomodate the "normal" engine orientation.

Sorry about the white sky

Those might be nice pictures but that's not a 109. I belive that has an "English" engine, something no German would ever have flown.
