Aha! I found the 1/4-scale-model Merlin pix. Go to the dropbox
(Metalworking.com), 2001_retired_files, and search on "Merlin."
It's an amazing piece of work, by Tom Kay. There is a text file that
explains the project.

I met a gentleman once who spoke of being mustered out of the service at the
end of WWII and scheduled to be married in two weeks. Passing through
Nevada on his way home he chanced across and purchased surplus for a total
of $10,000 one P-51 Mustang and two spare engines, new in their shipping
containers. It was nearly his total net worth at the time and his fiancée
made him give them back.

Dude! SHE would have had to be the one to go. There's a lot of women
out ther, but very few Mustangs.

Or, I think Tom Cruise owns a P51. Maybe he can use a spare in case his
present one scientologically takes a crap.
That's a joke, son.
The museum would be a way for MANY people to enjoy the engine. I'm sure
there's a body somewhere waiting for an engine.
