/images/notams/notams19/heav0411/heav0411.jpgOwing to restrictions placed on Germany after WW1 with strictcontrols on armament design and manufacture, the first examples of theHeinkel HE 111 design masqueraded as civilian airliners. First used in the Spanish Civil War, the iconic bomber served welland enjoyed considerable notoriety in the early months of WW2. Rightacross Europe, the Heinkel first brought the fearsome "Blitzkreig" tothe theatre of war. /images/notams/notams19/heav0411/he111-1.jpgIt was during the Battle of Britain and the "Blitz" that theHeinkel HE 111 became famous - recognisable by all for its"glass-house" nose and cockpit. It was this cockpit arrangement thatactually led to the aeroplane's demise as frontal attacks from theRAF's fighters often proved fatal. Although the design of the airframeitself proved it could withstand a great deal of punishment. Despite its losses during the summer of 1940, the Heinkel HE 111was constantly developed and improved in years to follow. The aircraftsaw service in all the major theatres of WW2 and was used to deliver"Buzz-bomb" rocket propelled, guided bombs, torpedoes in shippingattacks and a vast array of other ordnance. Two Heinkels, boltedtogether with a common centre wing and a fifth engine were called"Zwilling" and produced in small numbers to tow giant gliders. /images/notams/notams19/heav0411/he111-2.jpgAfter the War, Spain continued to build the Heinkel under licenceand dubbed the CASA 2 111. Ironically these machines were powered bythe Spitfire and Hurricane's Rolls Royce Merlin engines. Our project illustrates the P2 variant, an early version and acombatant in the Battle of France and Battle of Britain. Flying thatglass-house cockpit is an interesting experience and a change from theconstrictive enclosed cockpits of other simulation aircraft.
