I doubt any of the FARR 109s were equipped with MW50... as far as I know, even for the Luftwaffe - supplies of water/methanol were quite low as it were.

Profesor Walter high speed submarine propulsion used by the Royal Navy after the war, too consumed almost all available propellant of the peroxid type. A Walter U boot reached 42 knots underwater for short periods ! Tests with our propellant were done too.
