Don’t worry about it Gary, some people on here have too little to do with their time and can’t stop themselves nitpicking:)

i think what we have is a mis enterpretation, i can see that the title could be read either way, both of you are right, in this instance however the topic is covering a RR Meteor Mk IVB engine, just edit the thread title maybe? 🙂

Read all the threads!

I think you are getting your Meteors crossed, the tank engine was called the Rolls Royce Meteor and is a vehicle version of the Merlin Engine.

If you read the start of the thread and then my answer you will find that I am not getting my Meteors crossed!

The Rolls Royce engine mentioned is for a tank or similar vehicle and not one fitted to a Gloster Meteor of any Mark! The Mark Four was powered by Rolls Royce Derwents and never had a B variant.
