Is this Merlin off a Whitley?

Saw this outside at Flixton….it is marked Spitfire – but it aint…neither is it Hurricane…is it Whitley or Fulmar? It is an early one

I wish! It is sad outside and should not be

Only my own personnal point of view but I find it very strange that some are still treating our history like this, denying it to those who would treat it in the way it deserves.

What’s more interesting is how the generator bracket has survived for so long, not just the crash, (all those years ago) but more recently they have been making good money on ebay…..

The fishtail exhausts were also used on Whitleys. I’ve seen pics already – it’s not Whitley.

Yes, Wellington.
Photo of a Whitley bearer for reference.

Incidentally, those Fishtail exhausts were used on the Spitfire I, amongst others

Tony,
Is it the exhaust stack that gives it away?
