I was looking on the duxford update website tonight and noticed on the picture of TFC’s thunderbolt that there is what looks like an inverted V engine (german?) anyone know more?
Can’t see Hangar 2 in there.
:rolleyes:

Um ,hello
If you read the thread you would see it said TFC
It would have said P-47
It would have said Hanger 2
Ok?? :rolleyes:

Umm, hello, not too familiar with what’s where at DX, on account I’m not really a regular! :rolleyes:

Its in front of the P-47 of course it is in Hanger 2!
By: DazDaMan - 14th March 2005 at 19:33
Not if its in Hangar 2!
Wasn’t aware of it being in Hangar 2!

One for HFL, perhaps?

Yup, It’s a Griffon. You can never beat Bruce (not literally spoken of course).

Well thanks for information chaps looks like an intresting item there?
Seems to have seen much better days after looking at the pic so I wonder where it came from?
By: Bruce - 14th March 2005 at 17:41
I can tell from that picture! The black mounting is a Spitfire mount – unmistakeable.

Its a Griffon, and it has Spitfire mounts on it…
Bruce
Can you tell that from the picture, or have you seen it?
Just interested….. 🙂
By: Arabella-Cox - 14th March 2005 at 17:39
Ahh, so it IS upside down then!?
As I was saying, it looks like a semi-wreck and it is just dumped on a pallett rather than being in any sort of frame. I would imagine the only way a Merlin or Griffon will free-stand is upside down…..
Wonder what TFC have in mind for it?
By: Bruce - 14th March 2005 at 16:07
Yes

When you say ARCo, you mean HAC!

Sorry Glenn, I’ve edited my post! 😮
By: DazDaMan - 14th March 2005 at 14:58
Possibly. I seem to recall HAC were going to fit an Argus V-8 to their Jacobs(?)-engined MS.500 for better authenticity at some point.
By: Will J - 14th March 2005 at 14:40
Maybe an inverted V-8 from a storch? (uneducated speculative wild guess..)
By: DazDaMan - 14th March 2005 at 14:36
Here’s the pic. It looks vaguely like a DB engine (from my recollection of building a model of a Bf109 with an engine fitted), but I’m no expert. I wouldn’t have said they’d lie an upright V-12 upside down, however.
