Hello folks,
from my visit to the Luftfahrt Museum in hannover Laatzen ( its a small,but worthy museum - and for all who are able visit it !!) here some photos of a BMW 801.
enjoy
Thomas






 
Here te 3rd and for now last part :

enjoy and greets
Thomas









and here one image of the restorated Butcherbird ( some original parts were use, other were rebuilt ) :

 
As can be seen in the photo below, a front view of the BMW 801 with the propeller removed shows some writing on the fan hub.
This says, "Motor nicht am Lufterrad durchdrehenl" Translated literally this says, "Engine not by the fanwheel turn".
This is an instruction to service and maintenance personnel not to hand-turn the engine using the cooling fan blades which, because of their magnesium alloy composition, were too brittle to allow this.
In some photos, the word, "Achtung!" meaning, "attention" precedes the instruction.
