I was just thinking the other day, we are due for another poster to "discover" Courtesy Aircraft. 

Courtesy is discovered and shared with the AH O'Club about every 3 -4 months.  It was due again.

Who will be next?

I believe so, a.k.a. the Ha1112 M1L 'Buchon'. That's the only 109 that I'm aware of that flew with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
Looking around, C4K seems to be some kind of component of the serial number of Buchons or something.

Who will be next?

In a few months it will again be discovered by someone new.... Someone who has'nt wasted as much time as us on these boards.
