When the Canadian Lancaster came over a few years ago, one of the Packard Merlins failed. IIRC, they finished the tour and flew back home with a Rolls-Royce engine borrowed from the BBMF.
Friends of Durham Tees Valley airport now friends of Teesside airport helped out with that, an interesting week was had by all and some even went on the test flight. Spanners had to be borrowed from old toolboxes for the job.
