Here we have a very rare Camshaft from a Rolls Royce Kestrel. The cam appears in good condition and is complete with rockers, two of which are missing. This cam was saved from an engine that was broken for scrap in the 1970s and so is straight and has not been crashed.

The Kestrel was a 700 hp (520 kW) V-12 aircraft engine from Rolls Royce, their first cast-block engine and the pattern for most of their future piston-engine designs most famously the Merlin. One key advance in the Kestrel was the use of a pressurized cooling system.

Increased availability of higher octane aviation fuel in the late 1930s allowed the engine to be boosted to higher power levels without suffering from ping, and the Kestrel eventually topped out at 1,050 hp in the XXX model of 1940.

Kestrel Camshaft

This is a super rare probably unique supercharger from an early Rolls Royce Kestrel. This supercharger was saved from an engine that was broken for scrap in the 1970s and so is straight and has not been crashed. The vanes in the supercharger turn freely and it should be serviceable subject to the required checks.

This is a superb mint condition engraved Merlin rocker cover. It is A1 in all respects. This is 100% genuine, original engraved with the Rolls Royce legend. These  rocker's were only made in small numbers and in this condition are very rarely available for sale. The ultimate piece for the Merlin enthusiast.

This is a mint compressor for the Rolls Royce Merlin, on a Spitfire it powered the flaps and cocked the guns. The compressor is as new made by Packard who built Merlins under licence from Rolls Royce. It comes in its original box.

 The engine was licensed in order to provide a 1500 hp-class design at a time when US engines of this rating were not considered ready for use even after years of development.

 Later versions included a much more advanced two-stage supercharger that greatly improved performance at high altitudes. It found its most famous application in P51Mustang fighter, where it vastly improved that aircraft's performance at altitude. This fitting transformed the Mustang into an outstanding fighter with the range and performance to escort heavy bombers over the continent. By 1944, P-51B, P-51C and P-51D "Merlin" Mustangs were able to escort Allied heavy bombers in daylight all the way to Berlin and there to defeat German fighters that rose to meet them.

Here we have a Merlin crankshaft will fit all pre 100 series Merlins. Has some very light corrosion we will be spraying the whole thing in oil to preserve it after listing. Does not appear to be bent and should run again subject to the required checks.

Here we have a Merlin two speed supercharger fitted to the Merlin from the MK XX onwards as you can see its in relic condition but is very useful for a static rebuild or of coarse a great collectable in its own right.

The drive for improved high altitude performance gave rise to the Merlin X, the first mark to incorporate a two-speed supercharger in place of the previous single speed unit. The similar Merlin XX gained significant performance benefits from Stanley Hooker's work on improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the supercharger. The XX series and its developments primarily saw service on the Hurricane II and Mosquito in Fighter Command, as well as being widely used on a number of Bomber Command aircraft, notably the Mosquito, Lancaster, and Merlin Halifax

Here we have a packless gland coolant pump introduced around 1942, universal to all Merlins from 1942 onwards.

Here we have a packless gland coolant pump introduced around 1942, universal to all Merlins from 1942 onwards. This one has some bits missing and is damaged but is a nice collectable as a genuine Merlin piece and would polish up really well.

Here we have a an inlet pipe for a Merlin XX onwards. It carries the fuel mix from the supercharger to the heads and sits in the middle of the V of the cylinder banks. This one  is slightly damaged but is a nice collectable as a genuine Merlin piece and would polish up really well.

Here is a Merlin camshaft and followers. An excellent collectors piece and one of the most collectable and sort after parts of the engine. This particular cam is from an early MK III Merlin engine and was almost certainly fitted to a Spitfire or Hurricane you can see the MKIII designation stamped on the 3rd picture down left.

 The Merlin III made up the majority of the early production versions, entering service with Fighter Command on both the Hurricane and Spitfire. Some 9,739 engines of both marks were built between 1937 and 1941.

Here we have a Merlin V drive this part is also applicable to any pre 100 series Merlin, and has the remains of a Rotol CSU fitted which controlled the Prop pitch. In relic condition but a substantial Merlin Collectable

Here we have a Merlin reduction gear which transferred the power from the crank to the prop. This is a British built Merlin part with a fine spline. It is in relic condition and has partially restored for static use.

This is a massive piston and con rod from a JU88 it dwarfs the Merlin piston. Its in excellent condition considering its from a crash site. It belonged to JU88 Jumo engine of JU88 5151 code F1 GFT and attached to the first wing of bomber group 76 (I/KG 76.

On the night of Saturday 10th of April 1941 this group  despatched eleven aircraft to bomb the city of London this was to become the heaviest weekend of bombing the Blitz was to know. Ju88 5151 had dropped its bombs and on a home word coarse when it was shot down by fire from Brooklands anti aircraft guns. The aircraft crashed into a small copse at Slinfold in Sussex at 10.30.PM Comes with a certificate.

This is a piston from a Merlin in excellent condition.
