The Engine that won World War II.

The previous owner had this running at the 1999 Packard Centennial at Warren, OH. It was for sale earlier this year and I tried to talk the owner to giving it to the Packard Proving Grounds as a tax-free donation.

Thankfully, it found a good home.

Outstanding!!!! I've never had the opportunity to see an in depth tour and the operation, of one of WW-11's most iconic engine. I still find it hard to fathom the design and implementation of the Merlin engine...70 years ago. I stand in awe. Thanks for posting this.

Air to air photograph I made at the Geneseo Air Show in 2014 and posted here once before. Two Merlins, a couple hundred feet away still make a considerable amount of loud, lovely exhaust snarl even over the exhaust of two Pratt& Whitney round motors.
