    Twenty odd years ago I was working at Lakenheath air base and rapidly got use to f15 and 16's pulling off the most amazing stunts above my head, usually with bits falling off them. Those boys could bring those things to a virtual halt in the air slewing them around just holding them up with the sheer power of those mighty jets. Impressive yes but not a patch on a spit that flew over my head one day as I walked my dogs. At about one hundred feet this old plane hammered past me flat out in the direction of Shipdham air field one of those wonderful sights you never forget.

    Grew up listening to the Merlins overhead and every Engine sound of every Aircraft they have there,witnessed Concorde landing never to take off again as soon as she landed they started building the M11.
    Used to watch the Airshows for Free for a good few years ( As well as Mildenhall and Lakenheath ) sitting on the roof of whatever car we had at the time.
    Listened to my Father forever Moan about his Generator that got blown up when the Film " Battle of Britain " was made at Duxford and they blew up one of the Hangers ( with a lot too much explosive ) .
    I also witnessed the Building of the American War Cemetery in Madingley just outside Cambridge ( A very somber place even to a small child ).
    I was extremely privileged to grow up where I did,knowing the sacrifices that were made by Americans,Polish,Canadian and English Service Personnel and Male and Female not just at Duxford but all the surrounding Airfields ( There were so many ).

    If you ever get the chance to see one of these engines fired up on it's own do it.
    I watched one that was fitted to a trailer at the Heddington and Stockley fair.
    It had a chopped down prop and a nutty bloke sitting on a stool behind it.
    To start with there were old couples,young couples,children,pet dogs and assorted fair type animals, horse,pigs,sheep etc.
    Within 10 seconds of putting the revs up to half it was only the dads and teenagers left,everyone else had either ran away or were hiding in tents,dogs were dragging owners away and a horse escaped its stable.
    I just stood there in total awe as my intestines vibrated with such force I thought I was having an issue but with a cheshire smile.

    My dad flew Spitfire Mk IXs before doing the Mustang P51D conversion, which he flew in Korea. And later F86 Sabre.
    He loved the Spit the most!!!!

    The sound of Shakespeare properly delivered, the Fender Rhodes, a perfectly cooked steak, and the Merlin engine touch some pleasure center deep in my brain that nothing else can.

    When the engine fires up, the Spit rocks forward like a race horse that just wants to bolt. Love it.

      Hard to argue with Mosquito, too. All are rather different planes for different purposes. I think the Spit has the most glory, though.

      Eh, when it started the props were pulling it forward onto the chocks and the entire plane pivoted on the axles of the wheels bringing the tail up and nose down, most engine start videos with a chocked plane you get the same effect.
