Britains greatest machines

I don't know so much, it didn't run for long before it broke, Seagull's are a little more reliable.
See part 2.

Watched part 2, no mention of it breaking, he ran it without a prop so it stopped quickly.

The comments after the video say it is still running.

That guy built that engine up out of two scrap Mosquito engines, fair play to him.

Some on here can't even get a 1 cylinder Seagull running.

They are a very complex engine, and a feel that as a shed rebuild he did a good job.

Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read!

Control unit mounted it end of motor, primed and operated on first video, not used to shut down the engine on second video. Magnetos switched off after engine stops and oil was dripping from somewhere.

Keith you obviously know far more than me yet again.

I do wonder why I bother posting sometimes.
