Beautiful end of a Spring day to hear the roar of a Merlin

I have just enjoyed seeing and hearing the Rolls Royce Spitfire PR 19 carrying out several circuits of Filton Airfield prior to landing. A beautiful sight and sound as the sun was setting on a beautiful spring evening. That coupled with seeing HM The Queen enjoying her birthday celebrations at Windsor on TV has made my day.

Really sorry to spoil your day sir but: the spit PR19 is powered by the mighty Rolls-Royce Griffon

Not a problem it still is a beautiful sound and to see the aircraft flying is also wonderful.

Thanks
No offence I just wanted to point out the difference. A special aeroplane & a special engine none the less

No thank you. I appreciate your input. I must admit that I wasn't too sure if the Mk19 had a Merlin or Griffon. But the sight of the aircraft swayed my sentiments.

Get to Dux on Thursday and listen to both Merlin and Griffon.
ARC training day.
Weather forecast not too shabby

Hey Fokkerwokker,

Any chance you could give a bit more info on tomorrow's training? If it's still on I'd like to know so I could go and watch/listen/learn...

Thanks,

T9 & Mk 14 due to fly again today + T6. Maybe a Rolls Royce Nene too
