Silent Running.

Pobjoy;- The Pobjoys have probably got a better chance of being reliable now with the help of modern technology. They were/are powerful, but pilots in the '30's, when the engines were new, suffered numerous problems and forced landings - and that was often with 'factory-support'. As you state, these were mostly ignition-related issues. Lots of character though and they sound great...!
