Great images!!! But something is strange with spinner of Yakovljev fighter...

The engine's called Allison, and thus has a different prop to the 'original'. IIRC the intakes to the engine bits are different too.

Randy, - no I didn't, but I was expecting it and yes, it's true... Melv, you are in trouble... Sorry I missed you - it would have been good to catch up - I was easy to find; black and white and red all over. :lol:

Nice pictures! Does anyone know what kind of engines D-AQUI (Ju-52) has? They look a little different from what I am accustomed to seeing.

The original BMW engines in the Ju52/3m type were German built / developed versions of the P&W Hornet American engines.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_132

Currently equipped with P&W engines.

'D-AQUI' (actually D-CDLH) also has Noratlas wheels, helicopter type flight instruments and three bladed (rather than two) props for decreased noise to be a bit more friendly when used into city airports etc.
