The reason I can find documentation so quickly is because I know how and where to look. I enjoy ferreting around in books, archives etc - unlike some of my contemporaries.

No... There is a ton of documents in this thread... I don't think to have questioned them all.

Mine was a compliment.
OT: BTW Can I ask if you know a source for the RR Merlin family? I'm trying to develop a framework about engines and I'm interested to have some data.

I'm not asking you to do my work: I need only a clue about a website or a book. Thanks!

or for the Griffon

You can download a Merlin 61 Maintenance Manual Here (via DepositFiles)

One really good source for books is the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust

Hope this helps.
