RR Griffon


RR Merlin


Packard Merlin


P&W Twin Wasp


Wright Double Cyclone


BMW-801


DB-605


Junkers Jumo-213


Interesting,huh?

How much for the RR Merlin Bj

Which museum (certainly not Oberschleisheim or the main Munich exhebition)

Very interesting indeed. Excellent shots. Thanks for posting them.

Yep, The're smashing.

Nice. There is something about a big Warbird engine. Jets are boring, but a big piston is just pure magic.

Buy me a plane ticket and we could talk about that a little more...

-edit: Which ones of the engines look best? My favs are the DB-605 and the Merlin.

For me its the Merlin (surprise surprise )
Althought the Wasp and Cyclone look nice

Thanks for posting those Bjorn

No problem and thanks for those comments,chaps.

Hey,Doug,will I ever see you again on MSN? (rhymes!)

Hi Bjorn:

Can't seem to find you when I am on...will keep trying though buddy

Cheers...Happy Landings....Doug

The Merlin and Griffon look good. However, my favorite there just has to be the Napier Sabre. That thing just looks indestructable!

Hey Bjorn:

What happened to the old VW air cooled out of the back of VW Beetles.

I saw them on most homebuilts in the 50s and 60s.

They are still using them

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
