I see one data plate on the engine mount.
Let us know what you can read on the plate.

Nice plate :cool:
All Rolls Royce Merlin engines are "Right Hand Tractor", if you look from the rear to the propellor, the propeller rotated to the right...
If you need a identification of some parts from this engine, let me know, I have the part list of Merlin XX engines.
This engine was fitted on some aircrafts (Hurricane, Defiant, Lancaster, Halifax, P-51 ect....)
If you have details about the crash site, you have a chance to find the type of aircraft. Maybe the serial number from this plate could help too.

Nils

If you have found no data plate with the serial number of this engine, or more other details of this plane, you have no chanche to identify the aircraft ...

I think the best way is when you make a contact to JPAC. They may have details about this wreck.
Here is the link to JPAC: http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/

i could be wrong Nils but i think theres a good chance this is a British A/C.
If this was an American (or Canadian) aircraft wouldnt it have an Allison plate, rather than Rolls Royce? many RAF A/C types used the Merlin but few AAF
JPAC would only have records of theior own (American) losses.
crashsiteslimburg,
you have more chance getting this identified by the plate numbers rather than the coordinants.
your problem will be that the RAF had a policy of destroying aircraft records when a plane was lost, scrapped or sold.
i dont think they used a MACR (missing air crew report) system, like the American AAF did

This is correct Roy, but I think one mark of P-51 flown also with a Merlin XX :n169:
Re: Rolls Royce aircraft id
MUCKS - 29.03.2009, 23:53
Hi all.
Just a small in put,when the RAF go there first batches of P51's from the USA the engine plant was underpowered and the problems of spares so the RAF fitted merlins which increased the overall performance and handling.

Maybe a pic of one of the exhausts may help??
ill post one tonight.
Re: Rolls Royce aircraft id
Roy N - 30.03.2009, 17:36
the only reason i think this could be from a British aircraft is because of the number of single
and multi engined RAF A/C with this power plant
when compared with a small number of single engined P51s.
Beaufighter II,
Defiant II,
Halifax II and V,
Hurricane II and IV,
Lancaster I and III,
Spitfire III
i could be wrong but i think the odds are on the side of my suggestion

Where do you looking for ?
The exhaust flange comes from your Merlin XX engine, or not ?
By the way; Rolls Royce is no aircraft, it´s a manufacture of engines.
You can try to research the losses of britsh aircrafts in this are, this would be the next step. You can also try to contact the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), mybe they could help with the engine number you have on the brass plate.

Ok, now I know what you mean :cool:
I just check my Merlin XX part list and have found your number D2614 (it´s a "D" not a "0"):
"EXHAUST MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY", complete with flange D.2614
For following aircrafts:
Spitfire III
Hurricane II
Defiant II

Hi Nils,
Thanks for the fast info!
so this means for sure the engine was NOT mounted at a lanc!
also this increases the search!
Thanks!

im sure that exhaust is not from a Lancaster. it looks very different.
its hard to explain but the Lanc exhaust stub is divided into two parts. two tubes, where yours is only one.
its a pity the rest is missing because there would have been numbers and stamps on it.
also the overall shape is distinctive between each type of A/C and would help to identify it.
i had an exhaust from a merlin engine. i was told it was from the left bank of exhausts of a hurricane because of the shape.
this is a link to the post about my exhaust

Hello Roy.
Thanks for replying.
my exhaust is from the right bank of the engine.
on the left are remains of an exhaust to!
i will (after cleaning) look for stamps on the entire engine
that might help?
Thanks.
