A R. R. Merlin Engine, no not in a Merc. but in a P51 Mustang Had great Aerodynamics, but lost Power after 14,000 feet..... A Merlin Engine to the rescue... good for 35000 feet...
Then was 20 MPH faster than a Spitfire same Engine.... Widest part of the Wing was 2 thirds along
Spitfire was near the Tip. less drag.
Merlin was made under licence by Packard, better than the original UK Engines.

Not so surprising, Packard were known for their fastidious quality.
Ask the man that owns one....

"Merlin was made under licence by Packard, better than the original UK Engines." Merlin engines were made in a number places under licence. In what ways was the Packard one better? Details, Sean, details please.

Just hearsay Brian..... I heard someone say it !!

Oh Sean! Never believe all you hear and do be careful to ensure the person telling you something actually knows a thing or two about what they are saying...
I also advise against buting the Sydney Harbour Bridge as Patrick already owns it.

Scams: Sydney Harbour bridge now being sold via your mobile!

The best way of avoiding becoming a scam victim it seems, is to get rid of your computer, your home phone...

Maybe that's because we all go commando!

 

[Patrick_R]

Hang on Bryce, the Nigerian prince I purchased from said he was the original owner???

 

[Patrick_R]

Unfortunately it’s still a bit cold for commando for me
