There's two seven minute shorts on 4od, the first a bit seen it before, but the second is well worth a go, he's also doing a prog on the restoration of a spitfire and more speed stuff later in the year.
You just hear all the restoration people screaming at the TV while he rev the bolloks off that engine, and saying the thing took off, glad I wasn't there.
Hahaha, classic. Love that engine. I think it's the best engine ever made .... Yep, I'm gonna go that far , some say it's concorde's but I think it's the merlin
Funnily enough yes - well nearly. A gut built a 4500cc V twin from two merlin cylinders :Happy: I think there was a trike once too.
did you even look at that picture before posting? american v10 that says "viper" on the rocker box and you say its a merlin. if you are english you need to go and stand in the corner!
