Cordoba, Spain – Engine Recovery Mission Day 1

As part of the Historical Aircraft Restoration Soceity engine acquisition and rebuild programme, a team of dedicated HARS engineers have travelled to Cordoba, Spain, to recover four radial engines and propellors.

The team arrived at sunrise (08:30, due to  a combination of longitude and daylight saving) and was provided direct access to the recovery site.  The team wasted no time in getting into the task of undertaking the removal of the four engines and propellors.  From the attached photos you can see the two tired DC-7C’s on which the team spent a solid 8 hour day converting it to engine and prop spares!
