Hi just pick this engine up fairly sure it’s a WD Engine but it has no frame number or not in the usual place ?
Looks like it’s V1236 at the back of the Engine and I think it’s 4107 over the top where the magneto Cover gos it’s had a few modifications and I will have to change them but if you can shed any light on the markings it would be much appreciated
Thanks Ant

Hi Ant,
Thanks for sharing! Well, this looks like a military spare engine to me (true engine number V1238, but no duplicated frame number on the usual place). Judging by the true engine number, this must have been a spare engine that was delivered with contract S/1945. And when I compare this true engine number with other entries in my Register, I can tell you that this spare engine was built approximately at the same time as frame number #6000, which means somewhere around January - February 1944.
I have no idea about the number that was stamped close to the magneto...
Cheers,
Jan
