Incredibly rare engines in any sort of usable condition. Believe me, I looked. The second picture of the 801 is of the IWM’s engine, which makes me wonder…

The engines that were at North Weald were transport engines, not fighter ones. Quite different, but usable as spares, which they were.

Can’t help thinking FHCAM in Seattle might be interested!

Makes me think when I visited North Weald during 1997. In one of the hangars there were two very complete and in excellent condition BMW 801’s.

Located at Kiev in the UK. Someone’s been remarkably good at keeping the news of that change from the public!
