Centaurus
Just got the exhaust stubs off the front row and by the look of it i should think Flying Legends 2020 not a bit of (inhibited) anywhere and rusted solid, it is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Its from a Bristol freighter, I discussed this with the owner and restorer of this engine. The Centaurus has wider diameter cylinder fins as the cylinders mask each other as you will see in this photo and the incoming air is necessarily compressed further to allow it to do the extra cooling. I was talking about the video as well not the subject of the sale

I'm not good on engines so I apologise if I'm seeking the bleeding obvious but in the photo the front row cylinders look to have two exhaust pipes but the rear row don't appear to have any and there's no obvious place for them to go.

Welcome to the forum Millsie.
Will it be at Legends 2015?
I'm referring to the Centaurus, (I know wife No3 will be there!)

Number of engines, number of wives - are the two connected...?;o)

I think they were 'tee-ed' into the underside of the pipes from the front cylinders.
