Wish the R-1830-powered variant had been proceeded with, as I sure liked the looks of those cowlings and props.

According to Wiki, the proposed Mk.IV would have had Wright R-2600's, not P&W R-1830's. The P&W's only produced 1200hp. A bit low for an Albemarle.

 

" The Mk III and Mk IV Albemarles were development projects for testing different powerplants; the former used the Rolls-Royce Merlin III and the latter used the 1,600 hp (1,200 kW) Wright Double Cyclone "

Thanks Chris,..... I had a feeling that those P&W`s might have been a bit feeble for an Albemarle,... good engines but not quite a pair of Hercules!
