Beautiful. I was once lucky enough to marshal the Memorial Flight onto their hardstands at an airshow. The Spit and Hurri were amazing enough, but to be stood in front of four Merlins towering above me was a spinetingling experience I'll never forget

Had a Hurricane over our house the other day, those Merlin engines

Great pictures.

those Merlin engines

Something else, aren't they? I've seen their German counterparts fly too, and while they're bloody impressive enough in their own right their engine notes can't hold a candle to the Merlin

Having 'worked' next to the RAF museum at Hendon for over 30 years, I finally went inside to have a look around.

Standing under the nose of the Avro-Lancaster was extraordinarily moving. The thing is massive.



The paintwork on the side indicate numerous sorties and the award of the DSO and three DFCs to the crew.
