What a coinky-dink. I saw that plane out in Mesa at the AZ wing of the
CAF back in 2000. Assuming this is the same plane, it's a Spanish
(CASA) built He-111 that was lost in 2003. Some of those postwar
planes were retrofitted with Merlins in place of the original Jumo
engines.

Heinkels, IIRC, had DB engines, not Junkers. Yes -- the Spanish
converted their Heinkels and Messerschmitts to Merlins, from DB engines.- Hide quoted text -

According to the source I found (Wiki), they had both. The He-111 H
models had Jumo 211's. IIRC most 111's did have the DB 600/601
engines like you said.
