Packard Built Rolls Royce Merlin Tool Kit AT9368

Very likely for use on a Fairchild Ranger aero engine.

Quite the stretch to post this here. Allies only Jet Aircraft to see combat in WW2, Gloster Meteor did have a Rolls Engine but A. it was a Derwent Rolls Turbojet not a Merlin V1650 and B. this crowfoot wrench wasn't even for the engine it was for the Hydraulic system that worked the flaps, airbrakes etc. I did get it with a Pratt Whitney tool roll that besides the containing the usual PWA engine tools also had a bunch of Snap On whitworth sockets more appropriate for a Rolls Merlin. Anyway, pretty cool bonus.

The tools are more likely, I think, for a Rolls Royce Meteor tank engine which was a detuned version of the Merlin.

I am sure that you just made a typo, but the Merlin was of course a V12 and not a radial engine.

Hi. Yeah, No, not for the tank engine. Tool# is listed in Gloster Meteor manual. As for the typo, thanks, that was moronic of me. edited.

OK, that's clear.
