Rover Gas Turbine 10202

Smuggled out of the factory in someone's trouser pocket. "Is that a rocket in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me"

Yes!

The engine has arrived at the museum where it will be stored. I've asked them for a photo.

Here is my Rover Airborne Auxiliary Power Unit Mk 10201 as it arrived at Morayvia. I appreciate these aren't the most exciting pictures of it. That said, they are to me because it appears that it hasn't sustained any damage in transit.

I almost bought a Microturbo Saphir.

And you didn't because?!!!

 

[Carl Wilson]

I have had to rely quite heavily on the good people at the Morayvia museum, to take delivery of the engine and look after it for me while I'm away. I wouldn't have wanted to abuse their willingness to help.

And my wife would kill me.

"What that old engine, naaaah, its been there years, you've obviously just never noticed it before"

The trick is to make sure both are never seen at the same time

Hello people. Following on from the last video above. I hate being proved right sometimes. This is the limit switch housing if the Rotax HP Fuel cock actuator:-

Basically magnesium alloy dissimilar metal corrosion has had a free hand in here for 50 odd years. I'm glad I bought an ultrasonic cleaner.
