A meme consisting of Yoda from the Star Wars movies, with the caption text "What you did there, I see it". This is in turn a reference to a popular meme of Fry from Futurama with his eyes narrowed (although in the actual episode of the show Fry said nothing at that moment, the meme was frequently captioned "I see what you did there"). It's an older meme reference, but it checks out.

A Rolls-Royce Merlin 62 12-cylinder aircraft engine. Left panel text on the history of the engine reads: The Merlin Mark 62 represents the ultimate development of the liquid cooled aircraft piston engine. First developed in 1933, the Merlin was based on Rolls-Royce's successful 2,500 hp Schneider Cup racing engine of 1931. Development was slow and it underwent numerous redesigns but it evolved into a true war winner, celebrated for powering the British fighters that won the historic Battle of Britain in 1940. The Merlin's power nearly doubled during the Second World War, reflecting the development of supercharging technology and high octane fuel. Over 168,000 Merlins were built and powered over twenty aircraft types, most notably the legendary Spitfire and P-51 Mustang.
