Now that aeroplane would have had an interesting sound, you were talking Radials and Merlin engines, what about the Dart?

Apparently it was a very thirsty beast, and had a couple of 110 gal drop tanks



Rolls Royce Dart conversion of Commonwealth Mustang A68-187, converted at Bankstown Airport in Sydney. Later restored to Merlin power by Square One, this is now Frank Borman's "Su Su II", registered to Picacho Aviation LLC, Fairacres, New Mexico as N50FS
