Another Curious Question for the Group
To the best of my knowledge merlins never drove contra-props, except
maybe for tests at RR. The engine was more likely to be a Griffon from a Shackleton. When I was a nipper I went on a visit to Boscombe Down. We watched an ejection seat test for the nav's seat on a Canberra P.R. 9. The wind was supplied by the Blower Tunnel. A long tube with four merlins equipped with fans. The noise was awesome. The seat test was awesome too. Apparently the original installation tended to take the nav's legs off at the knee.
