: Hi all,
:
: I was wondering what happend to the surviving engines list
: ing which Paul Coggan was working on some time ago. What I
: am curious about is how many engines are still surviving
: nowadays,especially since the topic about the Napier Sabre
: recently.
:
: To start things off we have the following engines on displ
: ay/in storage in our museum:
:
: Rolls Royce Merlin (various marks X/XX/22/28/46): 20+
: Rolls Royce Vulture: 1 (recovered from the North Sea, plus
: parts from two others from Manchester L7518)
: Napier Sabre: 1 (recovered from the North Sea)
: Daimler Benz (601/603/605): 4
: Junkers Jumo 211 : 2 (both from North Sea)
: Bristol Hercules: 2 (+ 1 scrap)
: Bristol Pegasus: 4
: Pratt & Whitney R1830: 1
: Wright Cyclone R1820 : 1 (+ 1 scrap)
: Allison V-1710: 1 (Mustang, came from the North Sea)
: BMW 801: 1 (North Sea)
:
: This is just a summary of our engines I can think of at th
: e moment. There are many more in the collections of the ot
: her members of the Dutch Federation of Aviation Archeology
: scattered around our country. For instance there are at l
: east two more Vultures extant in good condition, several m
: ore Daimler Benz 601/603/605, Wright R1820's (3 from the S
: wiss B-17 which was recovered from Lake Zug). I also saw a
: Sabre in good condition which was probably recovered by t
: he Dutch Air Force.
:
: The list could go on.
:
: how about you?

: Cheers
