Great planes all. I also love the look of the F4U - The Corsair. British pilots took it and taught the US how to make effective carrier landings. The cant of the high nose caused by the large propeller sweep caused issues for US pilots at first but we learned from our British cousins how to make a safe sweeping carrier approach instead of just straight in.

[@crorivpro]

and these days the Brits forget it was 303 Polish squadron that had the most kills in the Battle of Britain when they now vote to kick em out of the UK. Less we forget.

[@1chish]

@@Optikification You utter lying moron. Why peddle Remainer crap on a Thread that is about a WWII fighter? 1. We, unlike the rest of Europe which is happy to re-write history, NEVER EVER forget what the Polish airmen did in 1940. Just like we never forget what Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, South African and Caribbean airmen did with us. Indeed they are commemorated in various memorials around the country and every year at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. 2. To say they "had the most kills in the Battle of Britain" is an insult to every other pilot engaged in that combat and all the rest. Every damn one was a hero.... 3. And now let me lay your lie for what it is. We in the UK voted to leave the political ponzie scheme that is the EU. We never voted for, nor have we ever said we would, 'kick' anyone out. Indeed I would remind you it was the EU that stuck to NOT agreeing to make both EU and UK citizens future's safe and used them as political chess pieces. The UK has never said anything other than migrants here are welcome to stay regardless of where they come from. Unlike the EU on British migrants in the EU Remainers make me bloody puke with their lies and false information just because they lost the vote.

[@mack1541]

its a very angry sound

[@davidmarshall1259]

it had a different cylinder firing order to the merlin. that why it sounds so different, more rough.

[@robertnicholson7733]

I wouldn't call the Merlin's sound sweet. It had a very distinctive exhaust note courtesy of an unusual firing order which caused early issues with the engine. I love the lazy ragged roll it gets from the rear, most classically during flybys. The Griffon has a more normal firing order and to me sounds much like all the other V12 aircraft engines in the sky. After the war, the Shackletons were Griffin powered and the crews weren't so happy about it and described it as emitting a really annoying high pitched whine ( 4 engined piston aircraft, hard to synchronize all the engines so you are going to get beating but the whine was a whole other thing) unlike the Merlin powered Lincolns and Lancasters. Trouble is, I read about the whine a while ago and now can't remember where, so I can't confirm my unreliable memory. Bob

@@BatMan-oe2gh well that's true but the hurricane is often the underdog when it comes to the battle of Britain and the overall air war in ww2. It shot down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire.

[@bobgreene2892]

The Mark 18 is a "beaste" worthy of the admiration of Spitfire fans-- with rakish good lines, exuding power and speed. Of course, it is also orders of magnitude evolved beyond the Mark 1, and its engine is only part of that breathtakingly dramatic evolution. For years, the Spitfire legend had suggested the Mark 18 to every imagination, but had delivered only the Mark 1, and its gradually improving increments. Despite the fame granted the Merlin, it was not until the Griffon series that the Spitfire's modest Merlin "snarl' was replaced by the Griffon's stunning symphony of supercharger whistle and engine roar.

[@barrierodliffe4155]

There was a very big jump from the Mk I to the Mk IX then Mk VII and VIII still with the Merlin engine, all Merlin engine Spitfires had a supercharger.

Born in England and living in Canada for about 40 years I remember on remembrance day each year as a kid in the 70's watching Spitfires, Lancaster and Hurricanes doing formation fly overs on the different bases where my dad was stationed in the RAF as well as actual war vets coming into the school's to raise money with the poppy drives. It always brought a sense of pride seeing the planes that saved Britain during the darkest days and the vets who many wore the visible battle scars of war and were cheered as true heroes to look up to not the manufactured heroes today. Having read some of the comments below my personal belief is that if Hitler had not attacked Russia and lost over a million battle hardened troops and equipment things might be very different today. Actually if Hitler listened to his Generals the world would be very different but that is what makes history. Germany had a peace treaty with Russia and got oil, steel and other goods from them until Germany launched operation Barbarossa where they sent over 3 million personnel from the Axis which I believe even today was the biggest invasion force ever assembled. As much money as countries spend today on there militaries WW2 was the last war where an empire or major country could be dethroned and parceled out because today major countries don't directly fight they use proxies who they supply which feeds the war machine and its industries.
