Talk:Blue Bird K3

Dates and speeds
There's some disagreement between the speeds and dates cited for the records:

Current engine?
Does anyone know what the engine is?

I'm guessing a Merlin (or Meteor?) has been found from somewhere (easy enough) and fitted, rather than the original type R. The Henley link describes a "27 litre" engine, which sounds more Merlin like. If it is a type R, does anyone know which engine it is? There were only a handful built and they have individual histories. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:17, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
