My office used to be under the final approach path for runway 15 at
SBA. One day I heard the unmistakable sound of a Merlin pass overhead.
But wait - that sounded like two merlins! What could that be - a
Mosquito?. I had to go look. Sure enough, it was a pair of Merlins -
on a Spanish-built JU-88. How's that for a rare bird? I read somehere
that it had been Franco's personal plane - and also that it later
crashed.

Are you sure that it wasn't a Heinkel? IIRC, the Spanish didn't have
JU-88s.

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.

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.

You are right - my memory failed. I have also seen a Spanish ME-109
with a Merlin.
I read that the Spanish continued building them after WWII, when the
German engines were no longer available.

I agree the only thing I have found that sounds better than a Merlin
as 2 of them in sync on DeHavilland Mosquito.
