Most engine parts are coming from dwindling supplies of leftover NOS parts and new parts that have to be custom-made at great expense. There isn’t a supply of new engines, but new replacement high-wear parts for Merlins is profitable enough to justify manufacturing them. Rarely, a new engine can be found from a private collector but overhauling to airworthy condition is still very expensive. The German engines are much more expensive than the more plentiful Merlins.

@FiveCentsPlease ok..thanks for the info i guess i will have to dig a bit deeper in the history of these spanish built types. I have heard about these casa built heinkels&HA`s a long time ago, but didn`t really know what to make of them. Also, I guess i assumed that the “proper” engines for any restoration project would be readily available from “aftermarket” suppliers, but maybe that is not the case with the german types?!

@FiveCentsPlease thanks bud i use to fly it in my flight symulator its a beutiful plane

@mybluebelly
Most of these aircraft are restored as accurately as possible, however any installed guns must be inoperative to comply with laws. (Firing pins removed or even a plug welded into business end.) If they are flown, some modern equipment may by installed for navigation, communication, transponders, etc for modern safe flight. Electrical wiring will probably be modern. (The Flying Heritage Museum remanfactured original wiring for their aircraft for accuracy.)

@mybluebelly
This aircraft was a post-war CASA 211 built in Spain and powered by Merlin engines. Surviving Luftwaffe front line aircraft are rare, and it is even rarer to see them in airworthy condition with original engines since engine spares are difficult to locate. (Compared with Merlins that saw continued use and manufacture after the war.)

January 9th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
The people who restores these historical aviation pieces, do they go to any great length to procure the accurate engines, weapon systems and functioning bomb-bays and so on…?
January 9th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Damn shame yet another piece of aviation history lost 4ever:{
January 9th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Well, I grew up near Harlingen TX which was the birthplace of the CAF. I have watched these planes come and go. Whether this HE111 or the B-26 or the PBY, numerous Mustangs, it’s a pitty that they have been destroyed in such a manner. I’m all about them flying but I do wish they would really back off on the type of flying they do in an effort to avoid these losses and preserve these examples. Because when they are gone, they are gone.

I saw this aircraft while at Kennywood Park, PA, about Aug. 2000? I nearly had a stroke. Didn’t know there were any flying anywhere. Now there are none? I would contribute to any fund that would restore one. Must be some somewhere, maybe North Africa? Norway? Must be something somewhere.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Wow! What a shame! I was fortunate enough to see this plane inside and out.

I remember walking through this aircraft as a kid. It came to the Geneseo Airport in NY joined by the B-17 Sentimental Journey. She always took a secondary place, but she’s what I came to see. watching her taking off on that a grass strip really made you feel like you were in 1939.

I recognize this airport… isn’t it used in the making of “Pearl Harbor”?

The spanish licens build HE 111, flew on 23 may 1945 wih Jumo 211 F engines found in France. During Civil war 1937 Franco forces recived a number of HE111B with original engines. Merlin build 111’s build from 53..

Could there be anything better than sitting in the front in this plane while fly over huge mountains and wide fields?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
As for everything else . . . I have no clue. I won’t even begin to claim to be an expert, but I did enjoy reading everyone’s thoughts and facts and Info. Thanks Guys
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Sorry guys, just getting to this. The engines were definitely RR’s and the engines failed because they definitely switched to a dry tank. They realized the mistake but could not get the engines restarted. This according to what I read, and what I heard from the Arizona Wing of CAF in Mesa, AZ.
As for engines, just listen to the sound, and they sound just like two P-51’s running side by side.

The Spanish did not start using the Merlins until the early 1950s. During wartime, the Spanish used the German engines they could find and continued post war. I believe Germany could never live up to their promise to supply engines for Spanish He111 and fighter production, since engine production was needed for their own aircraft.

@Brian79camino
It was a single engine failure during landing and it struck a fence and a building. The Cavannah Flight Museum has a CASA example which could be made airworthy with a little work. There is/was a project to get a real He111 flying, but updates are few if this project still even exists. Paul Allen also has an He111, but since his projects seem to only do about 1 rivet per year I doubt we’ll live long enough to see it finished.

As for engines they were R.R. Merlins. Why? its becuase it was Spanish built and they used what they could get during the war. Spain was Neutral during the war. This plane was not orignially used as a bomber but more of a taxi cab for some famous General, whom I forget who it was.
