Wondering if the Jet age museum could resurrect the Aero jumbles at Staverton?, also there used to be a very good one held at Whitwick in Liecester but just disappeared of the scene.

Thank so much gentlemen for these superb photographs of AB910 over the years, just noticed that when delivered to Duxford for its overhaul it was fitted with the 3 fishtail exhaust ejectors as per fitted with the MkVb’s and now fitted with the earlier kidney shaped exhausts normally seen on the Mk1’s.
Can anybody explain why?

Hello,

May be wrong here and hoping that Mark12 will be able to assist on this one, would not the merlin 45 have a smaller engine bearer and cowlings more suited to the MkV than the merlin 66 which was originally fitted to the MkVIIII which I believe had a slightly longer bearer and cowlings.
