I once saw a Bristol Aero Engines Pegasus XX, the first of the sleeve valve Peggys. It had been recovered from a reservoir near Bolton & three cylinders were damaged by corrosion. Imagine this radial engine being buried in the silt at the bottom of the lake. It has one cylinder exposed & partially, two more. It looked like someone had drawn a line across it and cut it off with a jagged knife.
Most of the engine was fit for further use & the RNAS at Yeovilton recovered many useful spares from it.
