I believe there must have been different types of alloys among all types of Merlins.
At least have I found that the US V-1650's stubs are kind-of "stainless",since every engine I have excavated from that type never have any rust on the exhaust stubs.
Always grey and shiny.........
On the other hand,the British Merlins seems to have another alloy because they always have rust/corrosion on them.
These discoveries is based on both under-water and ground digs.
Now we have two questions instead of one..or..?
