  • The most beautiful-sounding piston engine in the world! Well, that's my view. The iconic Merlin Engine, this one dating to 1941. WW2.
    Merlin XX V12, 27 Litres.
    1280 bhp at 3000 rpm.
    This video was filmed at the Anglesey Vintage Rally on the Mona Showground on the 20th of May 2023.

    That V12 sound is so distinctive 😍 And that weird moment when the blades appear stationary as they matched the recording frame rate 😆

      I just happened to come across it at the right time as it was just about to be fired up. I'm so pleased that I did, a real treat. It was great to be up so close to a raw Merlin engine. Yes, all that noise and those blades appear to be still. 😊 Thank you for watching.

    What's stopping the trailer from moving forwards?

      That was my thought on the day. That's one of the reasons I stood at the side. All I could see were the chocks on the trailer.

      ​@@radiowyn1703 the propeller looks smaller than an actual one perhaps that's something to do with it? And maybe the angle of the blades are wrong so they don't work?

      @@bimbobaggypants4820 I would think you are right on both accounts, especially the pitch of the blades. Although it still created quite a draught.
