ID,
I saw it in person for the first time at Donnington in 1998. I
had a particular interest in it because I have a friend and mentor who was
building a 1918 Merecedes aircraft engine to what IMHO was of an equal
level of workmanship although not quite of the same complexity of design.
I wanted to make a comparison. Take me round back and rough me up if you
must but what most impressed me was the job on the propeller!
Regards,
Harry
