I like the two-handed tach! That’s a typical aviation tach used with most all old reciprocating / piston aviation engines.

We have hundreds of Merlin/Packard V12's floating around here at work. You could say my boss is more than a fanatic.. It is amazing when we fire one up after a rebuild. Even more amazing when the boss does a fly by in one of his P51 Mustangs how loud these things are.

Merlins were also used in civilian aircraft. Canadair Northstar was a DC4 with Merlins instead of radials. The last surviving one is in Ottawa Ontario at the the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. I delivered an ornithopter to them some years ago and got the back room tour of the place. I can say I helped with the restoration of this aircraft. I held one of the magnetos up while the tech removed the bolts to get it off the engine. Lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_North_StarKevin

They did a fly by side by with a Raptor and a P 51 at the Ocean Md air in June, the P 51 looked like a matchbox plane compared to the Raptor. The sound of the P51 s supercharger is awesome.

I have attended all sorts of shows and love everything from Steerman's to them to B bombers. Awesome sounds!

What did they put Merlin's in besides Spitfires? The P 51 Mustang. IMHO the sexiest plane from the era.
