00 - not sure what you are asking? The pic in #5 of the engine looks like a large radial type (piston). I reckons that would make it the Beverley in '62 from Loki's link? Bristol Centaurus - 18 radial cylinders in 2 rows of 9 (originally called the 'Hercules' engine - how's that for spooky?) ALLISON made the jet turbine for the Herc.

Aah! Thorney - I remember as a kid in Southbourne watching the endless circuits of the Varsities. Mixed emotions taking part in the closing down display in '75.
