OK, here's another mad idea.

Germany twinned the DB-603 as the DB-606, and the DB-605 as the DB-610.

America twinned the V-1710 as the V-3420.

How about a twinned Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon???

A Twinned Bristol Centaurus???

Or if that isn't mad enough, a twinned Napier Sabre??

Once again, ideas and comments are always welcome.

So the plane can stand still and use the twin Napier Sabre to rotate the Earth around it?

simmie:
Well I did say that Sabre was "edge of madness" stuff!!

And I was suffering from Sleep Deprivation at the time.

After some more thought I have also considered this idea:-

As Rolls Royce Peregrine is to Rolls Royce Vulture

Then Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon is to Merlin/Griffon X???

As for Sabre, turn them on their side and mount them sump to sump!!!

Empty Handed:
Not that mad!
