I also have come across this from the VM as well.

These two have come from the 1968 version of the green-book.
This is where the original naming that came from on VM and became the means that we identified them,but wow this is getting confusing.
Now I'm even more confused.Which is which?

Hi Jeffrey, I have spotted something here that to me does not make sense....the first illustration (above) of the Sheerline Model 6 states that the engine is a Mk.10 and the Victa magneto a Mk.5E and on the second illustration of the Sheerline Model 9.....it states that the engine is a Mk.9 and the magneto is a Mk.5.

My question is this: Why would Victa use a later model engine the Mk.10; (9 comes before 10) on the Model 6 and also an upgraded magneto (Mk.5E); then seemingly go backwards with an earlier engine and magneto on the Model 9.
This just does not make sense. confused
The plot thickens!
cheers2
