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

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.

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

Can't be any worse than the Spitfire they stuck a ME-109 nose on.  THAT was a travesty.    Roll Eyes  If I could think of what it was called, I would post a pic.  Smiley

you can buy a new made Yak-9 with a Merlin... as the original engines are almost impossible to find as they had to be destroyed because of the 20mm cannon mounted between the cylinder heads
