: Hi all,
:
: As reported earlier this week we have received a complete
: BMW 132 engine with propeller that was recovered from a si
: te to the east of Amsterdam where there was a seaplane bas
: e during the war. Yesterday we spent the day cleaning the
: engine and were suprised at the extremely good condition o
: f both the propeller and engine with all cylinders intact
: and the paint very bright. There are some traces of fire i
: ndication the cause of the crash. We are very sure it came
: from a Arado 196 and we know that several of these came d
: own near the location where the engine was found.
:
: On several cylinders we found plates with the serialnumber
: as well as the manufacturer. The latter reads:
:
: Eberspacher GMBH, Leipzig
:
: I have never heard of this factory making engines under li
: cense, Can anyone of you on this board help?

: Cheers
