I have always thought that the Boomerang was a bit of a joke, as far as fighters go - but they do make a cool noise!

Dr
So your Mustangs a better machine Doc? How about your Spitfire, how does that handle compared to the Boomerang? How do you find a Merlin compared to the 1830? How much time do you have in in fighters Doc?

The Boomerang was a stop gap machine, designed and made in short order because Australia couldn't get enough fighters from the yanks or poms at that time.

I'm sure most others would be impressed by at least a 250kt cruise speed and 1200hp in a little machine like that. I've always admired them.
