Hi Ruairidh
If you have a Merlin I guess you would have read most of the much on the Net. Haynes also do a so called workshop manual which is really more of a history and which may be of interest, and commonly available in libraries.
Our local Museum of Transport has one. For a model of machine which possibly influenced world history more than any other I was disgusted at the dismal low key presentation. Whoever writes their signs is very lacking in history and imagination.
It seems the higher rated fuel available to the Allies enabled the engine to rival or exceed the larger capacity opposition.
I often wonder what the life of a crank was reckoned to be?
