Junkers Jumo 211 Engine Resoration
Restoration
of Jumo 211 J-1 in conjunction with
the Norwegian Aviation Museum in
Bodo Norway.
The Jumo
211 J-1 engine from Ju-88 D1 Werke
Number 088 1203 arrived at the Wings
Museum from Norway during late January
2009.
The engine will be
restored by the Wings Museum here in England on behalf of the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodo Norway for their Ju-88 D1 which is currently
under restoration. Volunteers of The
Wings Museum will completely strip
and overhaul the original unit before
returning it back to Norway ready
to be fitted back into 1203.
The project is expected
to take anything from 1-2 yrs, and
is to be spear headed by Museum Curator
Daniel Hunt and Aviation Engineer
Andy Scrase. The first stage will
be to carry out a detailed inspection
of the unit to establish where the
main challenges lie in the coming
restoration. A substantial amount
of photographs will be taken which
will prove invaluable later in the
restoration process of this Jumo.
Andy hopes to be able to return the
Jumo back to Norway in a condition
that will enable the engine to turn
over. The engine will be restored
retaining as much of the original
from 1203 as possible.Taking a back
seat in the restoration is another
Jumo recovered from Ju-88 C-4 088
0797 which has been traded with NAM and will be restored
for future display within the Wings
Museum.
