YEah afaik they just kept the production lines running didn't they?

When I was a kid in the Czech Republic, I couldn't figure out why the me-109 kits were all called Avias :p

The Avia-Messesrchmitt was made in two versions, first the S-99 (and corresponding two-seater CS-99), which were basically G-6's built after the war according (the Avia-factory produced Messerschmitts for Germany during the war). However, they soon run out of DB 605-engines, so instead they fitted a Jumo 211 with a new propeller. The new propeller caused massive torque, and the aircraft was in no way superior to the original G-6. Quite a number were produced for the Czech air force and air national guard anyway, as they were desperate for new equipment. A number were then sold to Israel, which, in an extremly ironic twist, saw the "Messerschmitt" meet the Spitfire (in Egyptian service) in -48.

Avia also made a copy of the Me 262 designated S-92, which saw limited service with the czech before deliveries of license-produced Mig-15 and Yak-23 came into service.

Ironic that the Avia S-199 looks like a German 109.


That's because its a czech-made Bf-109G with a Junkers Jumo engine.

My question for the pic taker? Does the Avia accidentally shoot off its propeller? That would be a high fidelity flight model. Do they ground loop on take off and landing too?
