Ladies, gents and teddy bears, it is always a delight to see the Spitfire but this Griffon supercharged Spitfire sounds beautiful. What’s your favourite Spitfire Mk?

The Griffon engine does sound fantastic & a Merlin on steroids 🤣 To be honest though either are the most amazing soundtrack 😍
@christinebarnes34934 ай бұрын
They’re all wonderful, but the Merlin’s sound takes the crown.

Old school here, but the IIa has always been my favourite, albeit not so many flew in BoB, and Hurricanes were the workhorses defending our skies.

Griffon for soundtrack. Mk 1 for looks

Thanks for posting this Nikos. Disco is a wonderful man and a wonderful pilot; beautifully captured by you and Ted. The last few seconds of your video are particularly poignant, especially this year. Please keep doing what you do. We all love it...aahhh yeahhhh!!!!

For me, the Mark 19, both in terms of looks and that growling Griffon engine. Incredible aircraft.

I wonder if anyone has ever built a car with one of these old engines in. It would be a proper beast as is the aircraft. That Rolls Royce engine is such a sweet sound. Absolutely fantastic.
@TedConingsby4 ай бұрын
I believe they have, in fact they started life in cars so if you think about it, probably the other way round but there is 27ltr V12 Merlin engine in a car today!

John Dodd’s “The Beast” (Merlin powered, not Griffon) was sold last year for £72k and now resides somewhere in Surrey. I believe Jay Leno also owns a Merlin powered car.

The Spitfire mk 19 is perhaps the best looking mk of all with its beautiful clean lines and how can you not like that brutal Griffon sound?

They bring a tia to a glass eye so much character the fast jets are nice but these have seen so much and the men who flew them especially when a flight of them go over you can just imagine what it was like in ww2 👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

A Spitfire with a little bit more than just go faster Stripes. A big deal in my eyes. Without doubt we are the luckiest of people to see and hear this in all its glory. Like an choir of angels purring as one. I never realised this MK has a pressurised cabin and could operate so hgh, great info that Ted and Nikos. This sound should bring the pride out in all of us. Liking the paintjob as a side note. Heart warming footage. Nicely done ✔️ 👏 👍 👌 ❤

Brilliant footage. What a beautiful aircraft. And just as I've convinced myself that I can't justify paying all that money to fly in one, watching this has me rethinking again!! I was lucky enough to meet Richard Grace at Sywell Airshow and get a tour of his Spitfire. It has a very special history. If I do it, it will be in this aircaft.
