Wise words William.

I'm trying to get together a Merlin piece by piece on ebay and.... not having much luck.

 

[Airframes]

Saw a Merlin block on the bay about a week ago John - didn't notice the price or bidding though.

 

[Readie]

Missed that one Terry....
Damn and blast.

If you spot anything else Merlin related please let me know

Thansk awfully old boy

 

[Airframes]

Will do old chap. At the moment, there are a few Merlin data plates, a carb and other bits and pieces. Again, I only saw them in passing, so didn't note any prices, although I believe some were 'Buy Now'.
I used to have a Merlin rocker box cover, useless for a serviceable engine, as it had a crack along one edge. But, polished up and hanging on the wall, the crack was hidden, and it looked great.
It 'went missing' during a house move, and the loss wasn't discovered until months later, when the 'heavy stuff' in the garage was unpacked. Bl**dy annoying !

 

[N4521U]

Now That would be hard to misplace! And annoying!

 

[Readie]

Thanks Terry.
'mislaid'? stolen more like....

 

[Airframes]

Yep. But trying to prove that, with the removal company, a couple of months after the event, well............
And even more annoying, as it was off a Spitfire MkII, which saw wartime service, and is still flying today.

 

[Readie]

Crying shame to lose something like that.

 

[Lucky13]

May their groins be infested with fleas from 1000 camels and arms too short to scratch!!!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

EXACTLY!!! The dirty knuckle dragging, cross eyed, buck toothed, butt scratching, finger sniffing, scab farming, twelve sandwich eatin', lowdown egg suckin' dogs!

 

[Lucky13]

That was a mouthful, or earful!

 

[Readie]

They need a punch up the bracket for disrespecting our wonderful Spitfire.

Bastards.

 

[Lucky13]

Hope that they dropped on their toes, spent months with a cast, obviously....without ruining aforementioned top!
