I seek any info on aircraft that was being designed by Ernst Heinkel AFTER the WW2. As far as I know he worked on a (presumably jet) fighter-bomber for Egypt and a jet fighter for Spain.
http://www.designation-systems.net/non-us/spain.html says that the airplane for Spain was designated as CASA/Heinkel CH-101 and its military designation was to be the C.7.
This is what I have found on the Heinkel’s works in Spain in the “Secret Messerschmitt Projects” by Willy Radinger and Walter Schick:
Ernst Heinkel […] worked in Stuttgart on a light-fighter design which apparently mirrored the ideas of the leaders of the Spanish Air Force more so than those of the somewhat heavier Messerschmitt aircraft.
The delta-winged fighter HE C-101 from the Heinkel Chief Engineer Siegfried Günther was based on the experiences he had gained with the design of a fighter-bomber for Egypt.
I would be really grateful for any info on the matter, including Internet links or titles of books etc. that cover the subjects. Any pictures would be appreciated very much.
Thanks in advance,
Piotr

Petrus,
I have no exact info’ but I seem to recall that there were articles in the old Air Enthusiast magazine (the monthly issue)from 1971 onwards-I certainly remember articles on Kurt Tanks post war efforts being written about.

Constructed is a different story.

Hardly a Heinkel design I would have thought ,being basically a four seat Magister with Marbore VI’s
indeed, but the 2 prototypes were build by Heinkel in Germany
