Default Duxford last sunday Dakota and spitfire

Jack Frobisher said the following on 08/07/07 14:20:
The configuration of a Griphon engine is not that different from a Merlin
and should sound very similar. Perhaps it had the classic wing shape but a
radial engine (2x9), in which case it would have been a Sea Fury.

The Griffon has more of a pulsating, gargling sound.

Starting at 1:05, can even be heard towards take-off speed.

I saw a Griffon-powered Spit at Sun-N-Fun this year and knew immediately
that it had to be a layer Mark, as it did not have that distinctive
merlin sound!
