I had a look for Wicko's Titan P51 with the Chev 350, seems no one has You Tubed it after all those shows - it gives the Merlin a run for its money for tone.

I reckon you would have to mount the Drifter to the Merlin.

A truly evocative sound. Here in Temora we are blessed for the sounds of old aircraft to be overhead on a regular basis. On ANZAC Day we had one of the Spitfires perform a flypast at both our Springdale (9:00am) and Temora (11:00am) services. I've cut and past today's flying programme:

Boomerang, Wirraway, Spitfire, Meteor,Hudson





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sitting at my study window, I can see and hear the aircraft perform their routines. More often than not I wander to the front verandah to hear their sounds in all their glory. 003_cheezy_grin.gif.c5a94fc2937f61b556d8146a1bc97ef8.gif

The Rolls Royce Merlin, and Packhard license built Merlins were used in a wide range of aircraft.

Just a short list;

 

Spitfire,

 

Hurricane,

 

Defiant,

 

Mosquito,

 

Lancaster,

 

Mustang, (P-15)

 

Lightning, (P-38)

 

KittyHawk, (P-40)

 

And numerous lesser known aircraft...
