Captain Sim He-111 Released

No joys with this one! Mag and fuel pump switches don’t function and about half way through the take off roll the right engine cuts. Every single time. I’ve checked the fuel and I’m not over boosting it or over revving it. Very odd!

Very strange! That hasn't happened to me at all, and I have taken her up a few times already in all sorts of weather!

Found this picture. That's my father right there. Sicily, 1941. A little Photoship cleanup and sharpening.

Great pic - do we know how it got into that configuration?
Seems relatively unscathed despite the bend,
 
My guess is that it was blown up from underneath. An attempt to destroy it when they were forced to retreat.

Yeah, based on the rubble, crater on the port side, damage to the port horizontal stabilizer, and the vertical stabilizer damage and dent to the rudder, I'd say you're right. Looks like a bomb landed just to the left and just behind it, the shockwave flipped it onto the nose, and the damaged structure couldn't support the weight of the tail.

Amazing picture.
