Hercules awakes

摘要

A Bristol Hercules 264 engine has been added to the collection of ground running powerplants owned by Aero Engines Carlisle. Acguired at auction in September 2008, it was originally manufactured in August 1953, and was last overhauled in the mid-1970s. The 14-cylinder radial, once used to power the Vickers Varsity, joins the collection's three Merlins, Griffon, Welland and Alvis Leonides. Aero Engines hope to obtain a Junkers Jumo 211 in the near future.
