Centaurus Spitfire
Thumbing through history books I came across the statement that in 1939 Supermarines were looking at engines to replace the Merlin, including the Griffon. Were other engines considered? A Centaurus Spitfire would have been something!

Except that the Fury/Sea Fury was a Tempest development. Interestingly, it was a Griffon-engined Tempest prototype that was modified into the first Fury prototype
