MikeRL411 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Spanish built version being converted to German spec with a real DB601 engine. This engine is just a dummy for mock up The Spanish versions used the Rolls Royce Merlin which BTW was what Willy Messerschmidt originally designed the plane to have [or more properly around]. I guess he was pissed when The British Government said "No!'. Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've heard stories that you can see nuts and bolts as well as screws on the exterior of these planes. All I know is they're huge and look like a beached whale that is smoldering on the inside when they take off. The smoke trails they leave behind are black and ha g around for at least as long as it takes the plane to get out of sight on a clear day 1 Quote Link to comment

ericsb210 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Don't take this wrong, I know nothing about planes....but in that pick above I had to look twice to see if he was going to fly it or be shot out of it :-) Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Way to much information. If this supposed to help keep passengers calm, it's a fail. Quote Link to comment
