AVRO LANCASTER QUESTION
Old mate has just picked up a little flat twin 2-stroke engine which he was informed by the seller was used as an auxiliary power unit in Lancs.
The makers plate says - THE E.C.Co.Ltd. TYPE: 250 TWIN ENG.No.: GPS 242
The letter 'G' appears to have been stamped on the plate as though the serial of the unit may have changed post original production; as though it may have been PS 242 originally.
It is 13 inches in height and 22 inches across from head to head.
What have we here?
He has in addition an interesting collection of complete aero engines including a Lycoming R-680 , one that was originally delivered by the factory to Airlines of Australia in 1937.
The R-680 was the power plant for the Stinson A-Model three-engined airliner.
