Yep it's a 1944 model so definitely a Merlin.. Weird really as I saw that plane in a film last night (Harts War)

RIP Trevor Roche who died today flying a vintage DH53 at Shuttleworth which is only about 10 miles north of me.. The crash subsequently forced the cancellation of the air display due today.
