Wasn’t the Meteor a converted Merlin, to be used in armoured vehicles ?

Did a later “Beast” have an actual Merlin ?

The Meteor had about 80% commonality with the Merlin and RR swapped the factory with Bristol for their ‘jet jobbies’.

Out of interest Blue.
Do you have access to a sand blaster? Preferably in a cabin.
If you do and you can afford a sack or two of fine, glass bead, that is a good way of removing the corrosion and paint on small components.
Don’t use sand! It leaves a poor finish (porous). See photo for the surface finish after using glass bead. I would point out though that the glass bead is soon a fine powder and no longer of use..

Hi Ian. Again, thanks for the Lindy calender, it’s great!
Been clearing up here and found these. They’re Victor tools. The blue spanner was also for the PFCU’s, Rigger stuff.
The ruler is for reference. If you can make use of them let me know. Better than chucking them out…[ATTACH=CONFIG]243249[/ATTACH]

It’s ‘single Dutch’ to me although some might think I speak ‘Limburgs’….

Could the GAF paint a few tornados to look like the Luftwaffe?:)

I would imagine something in BA sizes. No 4, no 6 maybe?
If the fittings are Unified threads there should be a ‘triple O’ ID on them.

XL232 or XL190 would be the ones I would build. They had some history with me.

And a buried mechanical clock ticking loudly beside it.

A ‘Danger UXB’ sign in the garden would top it off…
