Nantons Bomber museum Mosquito

[nsmekanik]

I was over at the museum this weekend so I took a couple of pics of it and a few other miscellaneous items, one of which is a DDay landing veteran, so I thought I'd post a link to them just in case anyone was interested.

Looks kind of like a Bristol Hercules.

I agree with James. Bristol Herky

It's a Halifax Bristol Hercules, they have another one that spent some time underwater.........

The main tip off is no push rods, the Hercules had sleeve valves that moved coaxial with the pistons inside the cylinder casting rather than common valves in the head that required push rods.

Thanks guys, if it ain't Pratt & Whitney I don't recognize it.

Great pics Tim. I'm hoping I can get away in June to come visit the museum during the model show.
