Thanks Tophe. This next installment of East African '109s requires a little more explanation ...
After WWII, Messerschmitt OA (in full, the Messerschmitt Ost Afrika Aktiengesellschaft) was set up primarily as an MRO facility and assembler of reclaimed or imported components. That changed when Messerschmitt OA began design of a Bf-109 replacement aircraft.
The Me-209 was unrelated to German designs with the same designation. Messerschmitt OA's 209 was intended to close the performance gap between OstAfrikan Luftwaffe fighters and the RAF Spitfire 24s and FAA Sea Furies being encountered.
The basic structure of the Bf-109 was retained for the Me-209 concept. Power was increased through the use of a French 2100 hp Arsaéro 12H-00 inverted V12 (a developed, Arsenal-built Jumo 213 -- an engine type then being imported as spares for the OAL's Ju-188 fleet).
In its original guise, the Me-209 distinguished itself from its progenitor by having an all-around vision canopy over a raised cockpit position. This allowed the Messerschmitt OA designers to increase fuselage fuel, maintain c/g, and improve pilot sight-lines.
After review by the TA-OAL (Technische Amt der OstAfrika Luftwaffe), the initial Me-209 proposal was rejected as being underpowered and having insufficient development potential. Messerschmitt OA answered with the revised Me-209TL with an exhaust-driven turbocharger. The latter was a TKL 15 (also obtained from the French) in an underbelly fairing.
Additional power came in the form of a 2250 hp Arsaéro 12H-02 engine driving a five-bladed propeller. The wingtips were to be extended to improve performance at altitude and a new tail surface (inspired by the OAL's Me-262) would help control the planned fighter. Once again, the TA-OAL rejected the Me-209 design. But Messerschmitt OA wasn't finished with their Me-209 concept just yet ...
