Thunderous Halifax Engine Run at Pratt & Whitney Canada!. Experience the roar! Join Karl Kjarsgaard and the Halifax 57 Rescue team on an epic road trip to Pratt & Whitney Canada's 32nd anniversary in Lethbridge, Alberta. Watch us turn gasoline into pure noise with our legendary Bristol Hercules engine! This episode gives you an exclusive look at our visit with Pratt & Whitney, who are now sponsoring the Bomber Command Museum and helping us rebuild a historic Halifax bomber. Discover the fascinating story behind the Hercules engine – the very power plant that fueled 70% of Canada's bombing missions during WWII and keeps the memory of 10,800 Canadian veterans alive. We'll dive into the unique sleeve valve technology and show you how this British invention differs from Pratt & Whitney's own Wasp engines. Hear the engine run at full throttle and feel the power! Major Update Ahead: Get ready for our next big mission – the retrieval and shipment of several tons of Halifax parts from England to Canada! We need your support to bring these vital components home to Arnprior and continue the rebuild of our Halifax bomber. --- 📌 Key Moments in This Episode: 00:00 – Introduction 00:50 – Our Mission: Making Noise for Pratt & Whitney! 03:52 – The Bristol Hercules: Powering 70% of Canada’s WWII Missions 05:46 – Engine Start: Hear the Halifax Engine Roar to Life! 07:21 – Sleeve Valve Tech: What Makes This Engine Unique 09:16 – Breaking News: Halifax Parts Shipment from England 10:23 – We Need Your Help: Support the Halifax Rebuild --- ✈️ About the Halifax 57 Rescue Project: We are dedicated to rebuilding a Halifax bomber as a lasting tribute to Bomber Command veterans.
