Default oops

Sorry to hear that Tim, it's the reason I let my Stuart go in the end (with a spare engine)

My engine failed in a loud, spectacular and flame shooting manner in front of hundreds of spectators at a veterans reunion here in Western Australia.

Not a very nice experience at all...

Cheers and good luck

Phill

Malfunction = Much noise and a large vibration.. drove straight back into the shed and switched engine off.. Then unloaded a crew of Max's canadians.
We have turned the engine over with the crank, either a piston or a conrod I think is the drama

Sorry, Tim, but can't help with any parts -(only Guiberson NOS bits) should be still a few motors around in Aussie.

Default Radials

Take another look and wikipedia you will find otherwise

Default Geoff is right about the Lancaster

You'll note the straight pipes out of the engine housing. Definately not radials.

Cheers
Adam

Default lancs

Only 300 of the Lancaster B II fitted with Bristol Hercules engines were constructed; this was a stopgap modification caused by a shortage of Merlin engines as fighter production was of higher priority.
