Well since i have little patience to upload pics to myav one at a time i thought i would put a few more up on here. This time some of the engines they have on display at Cosford.

For your Spit Ozzy?

Or maybe a 747 engine

Bit of baling wire & duct tape will fix that up a treat. Some people have no sense of adventure. Where's the old pioneering spirit? Tongue

Very nice shots Craig. Do you know what they all are? Engines were never my strongest point.

Thanks guys.
I think the the top engine is a Pratt and Whitney twin wasp.
The second is a Pratt and Whitney Wasp junior.
The third obviously Merlin
4th is the Rolls royce Trent engine that powers the 747.
and the 5th is the kestrel i think.

That is some serious horse power there 8)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

And the hall in which the merlin resides is guarded during the day by some school kid and an old guy with a flash light:) Should your Hendon smash and grab fail. Roll Eyes
