Old Skool

(Catching up on some photos from Finland earlier in the spring)

 

I know nothing about engines but couldn't help but be impressed by this Jumo 211J aircraft engine displayed (upside down) in Joensuu Museum. The engine is from a German-built Junkers 88 level / dive bomber of the Finnish Airforce that crashed into a lake on July 1st 1944. It had left Joenssu Airfield on a bombing mission against Russian forces in this south-eastern corner of Finland.
