In reply top Potential recoveries in Spain? posted by Cees on Fri May 17, 2002 05:06:00 AM

I'm dreaming of a recovered He 112...;-)

I know that there are some people looking for a Bf 109E-3 in Spain - don't know if they've found anything of that one yet.

Also a Fiat A30 Bis engine from a CR 32 have been recovered. Don't know if anything else was recovered from that aircraft.

I'm visiting Madrid in two weeks so I hope to have more first hand info on recent and possible future recoveries... ;-)

: Hi all,
:
: I was wondering is anyone on this board knows anything abo
: ut any potential recoveries in Spain?
:
: During the Spanish Civil War a lot of aircraft were shot d
: own 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 w
: hat about crash sites in remote areas?
:
: What do you think.
