Don't the timing chains fly apart on those V12's? I've always been a Jag man, but i wouldn't trust one in the air!

The Spitfire wasn't recently dug up in Burma was it? :-)

Back around the early 80's, a Jag engine was used in Western Australia in a non flying, movie prop Junkers float plane, apparently just doing taxi shots and close ups they had a hard time keeps seals and main bearings up to it due to prop loadings.
