Just watched a Youtube vid on the Military forum, of the BBMF starting up and departing for the Royal wedding flypast.
Unless I am mistaken, the
Merlins on the Hurricane and - the starboard engines certainly - the Lancaster rotate clockwise as seen from behind, while the Griffon in the
PR Spitfire rotated ACW.
Two question arise, I suppose. Is that in fact the case and why? Followed by was the
Merlin ever 'handed' for right and left side on multis?
I know the Griffon went back to the 'R' Type 36 Litres, so did it also inherit the 'R' Type rotation?
Roger.
