[QUOTE="Hood, post: 340491, member: 209"] Its an interesting thought Schneiderman. Certainly no British engine manufacturer seems to have escape some kind of technical woe with their high-powered designs. Do you feel it might have been a materials problem? Or perhaps lubrication issues? I know there had been a lot of development of coolants and fuels during the 1930s, but was there the same kind of development in lubricants? Just as an aside, but tangentially related given Chris' post above, when me and Chris were going round Cosford the other week, Chris noticed that the engine blocks of the DB610 on display were stamped as standard DB605s. Proof that even using standard engines in a new mounting and concept doesn't mean success is guaranteed. [/QUOTE]
