Fabulous reference material.

[@ukaircraftexplored6556]

Thank you, I'm pleased you liked it!

Another great video Brian!
I realize this is about the MkV version but I was a bit surprised there was no mention of the various types of exhaust stubbs shown in the pictures of all the cowlings.
Thanks for making this series, it's of great interest to many of us.

[@ukaircraftexplored6556]

Thanks for your feedback Bob. The exhaust stub types and details will be included in a in-depth video covering the Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 engine.

[@tempestmkiv]

@@ukaircraftexplored6556 Very good Brian, thank you!

[@AFV85]

All the different exhausts that a right squashed in one there never seen that one with very thin opnings on the BM 597
We're these all mk5s with the different engines if they had the different exhausts for more backpressure?

[@ukaircraftexplored6556]

Yes, the Merlin 45 had the option of three types of exhaust.
