Good morning moose.

How fares it on the sceptered isle?

The other day after watching a British video about them Battle of Britain I was musing about dropping a R-R Merlin into a Bedford truck of suitable size... a sort of rolling Q ship...just a thought mind you...still

:D
The R-R Merlin in a land vehicle has been done on a number of occasions.
The best results are with the low powered 950hp model if in a car.
A R-R Griffin has been put in a truck (18 wheel tractor unit)...If the Good LORD was going to do a burn-out that is how HE would do it.

Some German Pilot put the ME109 Inv V engine in a Car, Twas most impressive in a straight line. Cornering proved problematic.

Other than that our parliament appears to be taking advice from DJT about how to manage the current inconvenience.
