Hondo, TX engines, 1987

[HogDriver44]

More photos from a 1987 visit to Hondo, Texas. Here are what I believe are R-2800s, laying open to the elements and utterly unattended. (!) I wish I'd had the gumption, wherewithal, and financial ability to inquire about them and maybe rescue them at that time. Note the WWII-era barracks, too.

R-2600s', picked over and spent many a year at the underground bunker at 5c1.

That's beside the Yellow Rose Shack. One of them was a R-2800 that the Spirit of Waco group picked over. There was a R-2600 still in the can that was out front...

The one in the can is still with the Rose on display in San Marcos.
