I just missed an opportunity to see a Spitfire flyover by 2 hours which i'll regret forever. I learned they both were fitted with Merlins. Both have such a distinctive sound that you have to wonder if the meanness of the Mustang comes with an aero cost.

Those PACKARD Merlins do sing their song !!! !!!! Yeah the Mk 16 $hitfire used only the PACKARD built in AMERICA 266 merlin, only spitfire model using that engine and ALL Merlin Mustangs used the PACKARD V1650-3 or-7 merlin !!!

Hey where do these airshows take place? I would love to visit

[wilburfinnigan]

Sorry but your heading is wrong as both planes used the PACKARD Built in AMERICA Merlin. The MkXVI (16) spitfire was a Mk IX with the Packard built 266 Merlin and The Mustang used the PACKARD built in AMERICA V1650-7 and yes they were different engines !!! TOO bad the people making these videos do not do the research. there were only 1040 MkXVI spitfires built late 1944 on and the MkXVI was the ONLY spitfire to use a Packard built merlin, Most Packard built merlin went into the MkBIII and MK X Lancaster bombers 3440 of them. plus 1500 Canadian built mosquitos and 1200 Canadian Hurrycanes !! Facts of history !!!

Eine Bf-109 G12 wäre mir lieber gewesen, zu sehen und zu hören !

this spitfire doesn't use merlin but griffon

One really wishes that announcers would just shut up loving their own voices for fifteen minutes and allow the paying spectators to enjoy the aero-mechanical symphonic splendour of these engines.
