    WHAT ENGINE IS THAT?

    I have accumulated quite a number of photographs of old, rare, unusual engines.

    Would the LR brotherhood like me to start a "What engine is that?" thread?

    Here are a couple of tasters.

    No: 1 = Something out of a plane (and appears to be fuel injected?)

    No: 2 = Something not out of a plane!

    Am I the first winner?

    Yes please, but I doubt I will be able to guess many...

    #1 looks like a RR Merlin V12, or related engine.

    I don't remember what either one of those is. One is an aircraft engine and the other is a US made motor racing engine, possibly a Sparks-Thorne "Little Six".

    From now on I will only post in this thread engines I can identify.

    Why?

    They are still interesting even if you don't know what they are. Anyway, someone else might be able to identify them.

    The first one isn't a Merlin,the Yanks only made the type 61 as far as I'm aware and that isn't a 61,it had a four bladed Rotol prop not a three blader. Pat
