The BBMF Merlins will be back in the air soon... and the eng lads there (really boffins now) know exactly the type of oil used in the Merlins during the e War years; however, the Merlins have been refitted and refitted and refitted with piece-parts that have been manufactured with modern aviation engine techniques. There is more aluminum and other alloys in these engines then original parts. You can buy a brand new Merlin engine (made by Packard USA) made entirely of 21st century alloys. The BBMF boys know what oil to use.
