Hi to All,
Here are some pics that I took at the Navy Museum in Nowra, on our trip to Greenwell Point, that I thought the members would enjoy...Have a look at these monsters....Lol!!

Enjoy!!

[Linked Image from i266.photobucket.com]

The top 2 pics is a Rolls Royce Merlin, 27 litres, liquid cooled inline engine used in the Spitfire,Hurricane, Mosquito, Lancaster and P51 Mustang,
The next pic is an installed engine in a ex-RAN Fairey Firefly aircraft (pics below) and is a Rolls Royce Griffon, 37 litres (2035hp) liquid cooled inline engine....
What a monster!!

Please do not PM me asking for support. Please post your questions in the appropriate forums, as the replies it may receive may help all members, not just the individual member.
Kindest Regards, Darryl

Hi Darryl,

Nice photos, I like looking at old war planes, I Remember about 10 years ago, a bloke fully restored a spitfire in his shed at Unley "suburb of Adelaide". I was amazed how small the spitfire was with a massive Rolls Royce engine powering it.
Pilots were pretty brave back then.
The spitfire has now been moved to the aviation museum at Port Adelaide, if you ever get the chance its well worth a visit.
