Does anyone recognise this?[ATTACH=CONFIG]216388[/ATTACH]

Ex Rebel Air Museum? I thought I recognised it as soon as I saw it! Bashed my shins on it a few times, but I should have been looking where I was going I suppose! I too have some details of this one somewhere…I’ll have a look for you.
Regards;

To help things along – Simon Parry’s “Intruders over Britain” gives the ‘Wivenhoe’ Ju88 id as a c-4 W.Nr. 0724 R4+KK from 2/NJG2. Not sure of his source though.

Thanks Pete ! I thought the might be an association with Rebel from where it was picked up from . I will hunt down the Wivenhoe details -thanks!

David
The only information I have is Ju88c Crashed Wivenhoe 28/7/1941
I`m not 100% sure that is the prop, but I`m fairly sure it is. I recognise the stub shaft that is still attached to it. There was a small display of parts at the Rebel Air Museum. There was also a much more complete Jumo 211, but I think that was from a He111.

Thanks for the replies ! I would love to hear some more about Wivenhoe!

Ju88, crashed in Wivenhoe in 1940 or 41, im fairly sure. I have the date somewhere, I’ll try and remember to have a look when I’m back in the UK.

Its described as a ‘barn find’ from near Earls Colne. I bought it for the fun of it.

Wot he said! Looks like a crash site relic.
Isn’t that the one that was sold on e-Bay recently?

Junkers Jumo 211/213 fitted to Ju88/Ju188/Ju388 and Fw190D and possibly others?

World War II vintage; pretty sure it is German.
