Any more pic’s of the rest of the engine then MerlinPete?:)

Yes, landings were “sporting” for the FW190….:eek:
I wonder if the FHC “real” FW190 has the same problem….

It was great to see the FW190 flying again – last time I was there, it only managed a very brief circuit.
The other highlights for me was seeing the Anson and the two Sopwith Pups airborne.:)

A work of art! I wish I could see it in the flesh….along with all the other “toys”…;)
🙂

aa, you guessed correctly! 🙂
It is the Sopwith Gnu VH-UBY, operated by Larkin Aircraft Supply Co. Initially imported from England with a Bentley rotary engine, it was later fitted a Wright Whirlwind, as seen in this Wot.
Once again, scanned from Keith Raymond Meggs’ mighty tome on Australian Aircraft. (What a mine of Wots it’s proving to be….:diablo:)

You have control aa.

Thanks skytrain10. I only knew it was the Tummelisa because I have seen Mikael Carlson flying his delightful example at Wanaka a few years ago. I think it was the first time I had seen a real live rotary engine in action, along with his Bleriot. 🙂

Anyhoo, next Wot….

I’m going to have to declare open house fellas; I’m on the road…:)

So, G-KITT is registered as a P-40N, referred to as a P-40M and TP-40M, but I’m going to stick my neck out and suggest we should be calling it a Kittyhawk Mk.III. It is actually a rare variant, with only one other airworthy.

I think you will find the reason for G-KITT “acquiring” the “N” identity is simply because only “N’s” and “L’s” are eligible for registration in the Standard Category in the USA . All the other models are Limited Category. Have a look at the FAA Type Certificate…:)

The Merlins are easily swapped between the Hurricanes and the Lancaster at least, likely P7350 and AB910 as well.

A 20 Series Merlin physically will not fit a Spitfire Mk I/II/V engine mount. The two speed supercharger wheel case for the 20 Series makes the back end too long.
