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

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

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 Smiley
