Nothing I say will ever do justice to this site! You could spend a week on it easily. If it`s aviation related then it has
probably been for sale or wanted on here sometime, take a look.Found this Merlin 25 on there recently, looks nice. It is free
to advertise here. |

Not Merlins again, but equally interesting. Mark Nye`s site is very professional and well worth a look. He builds gas turbines
from scratch, and has many innovative ideas. A professional looking web-site. |

Fascinating US-based site covering all big piston aero engines including the Merlin. Run partly by Graham White, author on the subject, and also has mobile ground-running engines which can be seen on the site. Engine above is a Pratt & Whitney R2800, a 46 litre, 18 cylinder American radial. |

The Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust covers not only R-R, but all the other companies that became a part of it, such as Bristol, who are one of many with their own branch. RRHT are presently compiling a list of preserved aero engines for the BAPC, so if you happen to have one hidden away, why not drop Peter Kirk a line at the Trust, I`m sure he would love to hear from you! A very professional organisation which has cheap membership, and an ever-expanding list of technical & historical publications at very reasonable prices. |

This society, started by Paul Rogers are presently building a Hawker Hurricane to ground-taxying status using as many original parts as possible. A story of determination that is now beginning to pay off as the aircraft`s sub-assemblies proceed towards the point where they can be assembled. The site is comprehensive, and regularly updated. |
