Totally agree .

There are those sounds that are so evocative, and hearing that Merlin engine going from near stalling tick over at the top of a loop to flat out at the base of the drive the scream of the supercharger coupled with the roar from the exhausts is almost spine tingling.

Aggre, went to goodwood a couple or yeas back and these three were flying, a lanc and two spits, fantastic sound

Drove past newquay airport the other day whilst on my wet week away with wifey and there was a spitfire in some blokes garden and one parked outside on a trailer with the wings off...........

Google street maps just past east lodge on the A3059, lower right end of the big runway where the main road has a smaller white road in a ^ shape.....

When you look at a spitfire up close you have to wonder how the hell those guys flew those things at such speeds and in combat as well, real "seat of the pants" stuff, just a bunch of alloy and rivits but it's such a beautiful aircraft, and that merlin sound!!!
anyone remember the bloke that stuck a merlin engine in a rolls royce? seem to remember he got through more clutches than fuel!
