The museum was told of the engine by a visitor to the New Years Day Crankup in 2005. Qinetiq were approached and a site inspection took place. The engine was as installed in 1943 with a Lister/Hamworthy compressor set. It had been test run only since the late 1950s but had not run for 10 years in 2005. The engine turned over freely and was obviously in good condition.
