Come on, no need for mean spiritness.What's an enigine?
Agreed, the Merlin has to be considered.I think the Merlin should be on the list that got the job done when needed.
Really? What did they do?
Mainly on kitchen tables in Derby until 1942 I have been reliably informed.Oh come on, we all know RR tradesman made every Merlin by hand with files and hand drills, it took Packard to mass produce them, haven't you watched the history channel?.
When they weren't having tea and bikkies obviously.Mainly on kitchen tables in Derby until 1942 I have been reliably informed.
That became a serious issue with the tea drinking bikkie munching wives of Derby, a well known historical fact. Street parties were held when Merlins were made somewhere else.When they weren't having tea and bikkies obviously.
The development of the Merlin is another ground hog subject, it just wont go away.The things one learns here.
Episcopal ululations were always a key part of the British aviation industry, FACT (internet fact with no basis but using words that sound great).Did RR ever give up the secret of incantations performed by Druid priestesses? That might explain the early failures Packard had.
When they weren't having tea and bikkies obviously.
Critical question. What is a bikkie?
Tea and biscuits, what the ladies of Derby consumed when there wasnt a Merlin on the kitchen table. (biscuit just means cooked twice if you are short on useless information)The things one learns here.
Haha, sorry guys, a bikkie is a biscuit, normally consumed with a cup of tea.Critical question. What is a bikkie?
Ah no actually that's a scone, best served with jam and clotted cream.For us American types, a "biscuit" is normally a fluffy, flaky warm thick bread-like item, often cooked in a dutch oven over an open camp fire and smothered in sausage gravy on the plate. With crumbled bacon on top sometimes. Because everything is better with bacon.
Great. Now I am hungry!
