My question is that on the Old Machine Press website that the Spiteful was designed to use some version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin two stage supercharged engine. This was apparently in case there was difficulties or production shortfalls for the originally intended Griffon 60 series and later engines. Of course, all Spitefuls were Griffon 60/80/100 series powered, so there was no Merlin version built.
My questions are, what versions of the Merlin would've been looked at if it's true that the Merlin was seen as a possible alternative? And if so, what would the advantages/disadvantages of such a fitting be?
