Actually a Spanish version with a Maytag built engine that was in
right-side up instead of the inverted Daimler-Benz. Yellow + 1 <_ (the
ships designation) was used in the filming of the Battle of Britain and
resides at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh WI. The gasket is actually
symmetrical and could fit either way OR the chap forgot to cutout the
passage way.
Now there are probably less than a dozen left flying and most are on
display and a few under restoration. See:

Fun plane to sit in and let your mind play games! Willy Messerschmitt
had some clever ideas.
