Are you familiar with the Me 262 being restored to fly with original Jumo 004 engines?
Short answerThe proposal sounds familiar, but the personal preference is to watch from the ground, including after the clarification about modern replacement parts.
NotesDr. Clarke thinks he has heard about the proposal to restore a Me 262 using original Jumo 004 engines, but would prefer to watch it from the ground. A later audience clarification describes newly made parts and modern alloys intended to improve reliability. His personal reluctance remains after that qualification. No assessment of the completed restoration's safety accompanies that preference.
