As lovely as that is, I have to say I prefer the sound of the standard Spitfire, nothing quite as glorious a sound as a Merlin at full chat.

When the contra rotating Spit was coming low from the direction it took off in, I noticed a similarity (acoustically) with the AN-22/TU-95, which I suppose is the trademark of contra-rotating props :-)
