Distinctly different sound, the Merlin is slightly up on size and horsepower.Better than a m156?
Fabulous photo. The Biggin Hill Spitfires regularly fly over us on their Beachy Head flights. The interesting thing is that after a while, you can work out which aircraft they are using by the engine note. They all sound slightly different.
It’s amazing just how many are still flying, and realising that they’re all in there late seventies or more, watching G-ILDA this morning looping the loop is a testament to their design and build quality. Mind, would I be up there this morningThe fine weather has prompted the season long appearance of just the best sound available, and fortunately for me, over the Isle of Wight.

It’s true, but lots of people I guess want to experience a flight.Great sound, but the horrible 2-seat conversion ruins the looks of a beautiful aeroplane.

Don't forget that some you see around are replicas....so nowhere near 70 years old. Quite a few makers worldwide.
They can be up to £11500....depending on duration, and destination!!Not quite 5 grand, but if you fancy it ……

Im with you on that. Id love to know the psychological reasons why it's such a stirring sound. I can well imagine if you lived during the War but i was born in 1972 and it has that effect!I'm moved to tears when I see and hear four Merlins powering a Lanc. Just the best noise.
