===Postwar=== At the end of World War II, new versions of the Merlin (the 600- and 700-series) were designed and produced for use in commercial airliners such as the [[Avro Tudor]], [[military transport aircraft]] such as the [[Avro York]], and the [[Canadair North Star]] which performed in both roles. These engines were basically military specification with some minor changes to suit the different operating environment.<ref>Lumsden 2003, pp. 214–215.</ref> A Spanish-built version of the [[Messerschmitt Bf 109]] G-2, the 1954 [[Hispano Aviación HA-1112|Hispano Aviación HA-1112-M1L ''Buchon'']], was built in [[Hispano Aviación|Hispano's]] factory in [[Seville]] with the Rolls-Royce Merlin 500/45 engine of {{convert|1600|hp}} – a fitting powerplant for the last-produced version of the famous Messerschmitt fighter, as the Bf 109 V1 prototype aircraft had been powered by the Rolls-Royce Kestrel V-12 engine in 1935.<ref>Lumsden 2003, p. 214.</ref> The [[CASA 2.111]] was another Spanish-built version of a German aircraft, the [[Heinkel He 111]], that was adapted to use the Merlin after the supply of [[Junkers Jumo 211]]F-2 engines ran out at the end of the war.<ref>Wilson, Randy. [http://rwebs.net/dispatch/output.asp?ArticleID=17 It's a Heinkel: the Luftwaffe's workhorse Heinkel 111 bomber] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060928035717/http://rwebs.net/dispatch/output.asp?ArticleID=17 |date=28 September 2006 }} rwebs.net, ''The Dispatch''. Volume 12, Number 4, Winter 1996. Retrieved: 6 September 2009</ref> A similar situation existed with the [[Fiat G.55#GY|Fiat G.59]] when available stocks of the Italian licence-built version of the [[Daimler-Benz DB 605]] engine ran short.<ref>Green and Swanborough 1994, p. 211.</ref> The Australian built [[Avro Lincoln]] from A73-51 used Australian built [[Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation]] Merlin 102s. A total of 108 CAC Merlins were built by the time production ended.
