(in article ): "Dave Kearton" wrote in message ... Merlin? Of course it's a bloody Merlin, thou berk. It's clearly a V-12 inline internal combustion engine mounted on what's obviously a wartime operational Lancaster, which makes it a Merlin. The majority of Lancs were fitted with Merlins, and the majority of those _not_ fitted with Merlins had Hercules _radial_ engines... and _all_ Lancs not fitted with either Merlins or Hercules were either limited wartime editions, which did _not_ go into squadron service in the field, or post-war systems.
