The Swordfish is beautiful biplane.
Is this Me109 some kind of mod with RR engine?
The nose doesn't look right.

It's the Spanish licence version with a Rolls Royce Merlin engine designated Hispano HA 1112 Bouchon (their nose is ugly compared to the real 109s IMHO).
The biplane on the last pictures is the Spanish version of the Bücker Jungmann, a German trainer of WWII.

It looks as if spit and 109 had crash on each other.

The Spanish version was in production until 1954, and in service until 1965. The reason for the look is because the Daimler-Benz engine was an inverted 'V' while the Rolls-Royce Merlin was an upright 'V'. As far as the looks, we've been making that same complaint since 1966, every time we watch Battle of Britain. The movie also features Spanish versions of the He-111, drawing the exact same complaints. Still, a British-engined 109 is better than no 109 at all.
