Restoration
of Junkers Jumo 211 J-1 aero engine in conjunction with
the Norwegian Air Force Museum in
Bodo Norway.
The Jumo
211 engine from Ju-88 D1 Werke
Number 088 1203 arrived at the Wings
Museum from Norway during late January
2009.
The engine is currently being
restored by Wings Museum Volunteers here in England on behalf of the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodo Norway as joint venture for their Ju-88 D1 which is currently
under restoration in their workshops in Norway. Eventually this unit will be fitted once again to the restored air-frame of 088 1203 and displayed inside the Luftfarts Museum in Bodo.
The project is spear headed by Museum Curator
Daniel Hunt and Aviation Engineer
Andy Scrase although many more individuals are involved in the project. The museum is always looking for more experienced "engine" mechanics to assist with the project. |

| Work so far.... |
| |
| Much of the work has been in stripping the major components including the Cylinder Heads, Ancillary equipment, Gear Box, Fuel sender unit, reduction gear housing etc. This has taken many man hours to complete with many special tools having to be made up where required. The Fuel sender unit has been kindly overhauled by Auto Gear Boxes and is ready for refit. |
| |
| During 2010 it was discovered that the rear section of crank shaft had suffered from some heavy corrosion caused by a hole smashed in the top engine casing, this had caused this section of the crank shaft to suffer from the elements. Luckily the museum has recently received a donor engine from Norway and work is currently focused at retrieving the internal parts and crank shaft to replace those parts too heavily corroded in 088 1203's power plant. Once this is complete then the restoration of the main crank case can begin and finally the project will have reached a turning point. |

| As always we are thankful to all those that have assisted with this project. |
