Re: Can you identify a german aircraft by its main engine data plate??
Here are some engine plates: Jumo 211B, Jumo 211F1, DB 603 & Jumo 211. I firmly believe all five are main plates, and all have a rather long, numeric only, Werk Nr. (The number on the 211F-1 plate may be preceded by an "M".)
I also show the plate on a Jumo fuel injector unit - part of an engine. Note that the Werk Nr. entry lists both letters (LEH) and numbers (496). This makes me think of the plate that is the subject of this thread.
The Jumo 211 plate (the one below the DB 603 plate) is coded "jfs" for Junkers Flugzeug- u. Motorenwerke A.-G., Motorenbau, Zweigwerk Kassel. Perhaps the "TP" in the lower right circle indicates tropical?
