Very good cooling from fins as in the case of the Bristol engines, or the coolant of the Napier engines. And because the gases flowed without the obstruction of poppet valves, no localised heating as such. Good resistance to detonation with this valve arrangement.Originally Posted by dangerous

Yee haaaa
I've been in there - plenty of room for a fighter once you're in, but a little pointless. There's only a small entrance and tunnel to get into the actual carverns, so the aircraft would have to be assembled after you got the bits in there and then what are you going to do with it? "The japs are coming, quick launch the planes ... ummmm ... shit ... ummmmm ..." mind you, it does sound like our sort of military planning. No, the place was intended as a secret headquarters in the event of a jap invasion, that's all.
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

What is it about big multi-engined prop driven planes that just seems so right? Or is it prop driven planes in general?

It's sad to see the mossie being dismantled at the moment. Into a container and onto the ship on Friday.

odd thing yesterday, ended up with 10 aircraft in the back yard... Rangoira micro lite club had a run to Ashburton but it was all foged out so one landed and asked if they could all drop in and wait the fog out.
2 hang glider types the rest super lite type aircraft, some 2 strokes some 4 strokes, hell flash these days 1 even had retractable under carage
Speaking to one of them who used to race bikes reckons micro liteing is cheaper than the bikes.
cheers DD

Shit but that looked like an incredible amount of fun. (The dog fighting). I am incredibly envious of those guys flying those things.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
