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

Just a shame the damn thing was so unreliable. Strange old thing the Sabre. That photo shows the 24 cylinder flat H arrangement quite well.

Well, Napier wern't really ones for building engines with the traditional V layout.

Take a look at the cylinder and piston set up in the Deltic.

[quote author=Flying Trucker link=1082611631/0#14 date=1082757315]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 :)

Bjorn, I checked this out this morning and they have a couple of German Warbird wallpapers including 109G "Black 6" and a couple of JU52s. I got a couple of very nice Spitfires Grin
