So did Terry do anything about his rattle or not?  ::)
Three oil changes and fixed the fan... Whether anything helped or not is any one's guess :D

No-one has mentioned arguably the best British WW2 aircraft powered by the Merlin, the Mosquito. Designed by de Havilland as a private venture and made of wood, it turned out to be faster than the Spitfire, and much more versatile. It saw service as a night fighter, a bomber, and, equipped with a 6 pounder gun, a U-boat killer. By 1945 most of Britain's bombers were Mosquitos.
