JW411, thank you for telling the story of TG574, and of the terrible accident that befell it, the crew, and its passengers. As FED reminds us, any propeller driven aircraft (especially the multis with wing mounted engines) had the potential to fling large chunks of fast rotating metal into the fuselage, the wings, and adjacent engines. Even FED's beloved Piston Provosts held a similar threat to life and limb, as he says (funny you should have likened the JP engine to a vacuum cleaner, for it always reminded me of such when opening the bay access panel above it. There, in a space that would have easily accommodated an engine two or three times its size, was the tiny AS Viper that looked more like a Goblin cylinder).
Danny, absolutely agree about the Griffin Spits, it just made a beautiful classic aircraft into a beautiful and potent classical aircraft. By coincidence this month's Airfix wallpaper is PS852, a Mk19
PR Spit. It might just have to stay there into next month as well!
