Potential recoveries in Spain?

Posted by Cees on Fri May 17, 2002 05:06:00 AM

Hi all,

I was wondering is anyone on this board knows anything about any potential recoveries in Spain?

During the Spanish Civil War a lot of aircraft were shot down on both sides. The Condor Legion used this war to test their new types in combat while the opposing sides used a variety of type among which the Polikarpov I-16 Rata. As Spain had close contacts with the Germans they used also a lot of types apart from the Messerschmitt Bf 109, such as Ju88, HeIII, He115 etc.

We all know that Hispano Buchons and the Merlin engined He-III came from Spain as well as Rob Lamplough's 109E which was found on a dump in the eighties, but there have been rumours that Ju88's were to be found still in Spain, and what about crash sites in remote areas?

What do you think.
