| EARLIEST EXTANT MERLIN An interesting bit of history. This Merlin F was built in early 1937. Last edited by jerryw; 09-21-2008 at 09:28 PM. |

| There is a Merlin Mk 1 (heavily sectioned) on display in Derby, U.K. as part of the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust collection. It is engine No. 251, ie the 126th Merlin manufactured. |
