Re: Merlin Engines mmmmmmm
Cool, I was at Raf Cranwell one day when the battle of britain flight flew over, you could hear em coming from miles away, I asked one of the lads what the sound was ''that , young man, is the sound of freedom'' replied a sargeant stood behind me, best quote I ever heard

Re: Merlin Engines mmmmmmm
a good few years ago I knew where there was 6 brand new crated super merlin engines. Trouble was the bloke who owned them also new what he had.
I bet they are worth a fortune
