Many people talks about the 111's you still can see around the world in different museums; very few seem to know that there are two of them in the Spanish museum of Cuatro Vientos near Madrid: a Legión Cóndor E1, nr. 2940, that came to Spain in 1938 and a CASA 2111 made in Seville and having Rolls Royce engines in her wings.

It is almost forgotten that, originally, the pilots of the He III would raise their seats so that they were flying "open cockpit" for take-off and landing reflecting their early development as closed cockpits were a new innovation. Notice the crank in the steering column, to allow its use in the raised or lowered piloting configuration. Also, the instrument panel is mounted in the roof of the canopy, so as to be visible from the internal and external piloting positions. There's actually a flip-up windscreen in the top of the canopy, to protect the pilot in open cockpit take-off and landing. Quite an extraordinary aircraft in these regards.

/M0ther_bra1ned/ A couple could fly with work, and one or two of the Spanish examples may eventually be restored as authentic He-111 aircraft. (One already in progress, but slow.) The main wing spars are steel and aluminum together, which can create galvanic corrosion issues, so for safety any more that are returned to the air will likely need an expensive wing spar replacement.

+greenseaships The Cavanaugh example has some corrosion issues. Probably all of the survivors will have the same problem with the mixed steel and aluminum main spar.
