[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 42370, member: 597"] Hi there Rip, sorry to interupt your thread but thanks for the pics of the Aero engines....I'm sure you've most likely heard the sound of an Allison or a Merlin on full song at take off, and usually pulling around 3000 rpm.....the sleeve valve Napier engines use to pull 3700 rpm at take off..!!! Can you imagin the sound....I just love the sound of big piston aero engines.....To stand out on the edge of a taxiway and watch a P51 mustang do a low level pass on full noise has to be one of the best sounds ever....and equally as good but Oh so different is a genuine ME 109 With it's original Daimler Benz engine, the sound of it's externally driven centrifugal supercharger under the sound of the inverted engine is really something else. My father who was born in 1936 and grew up north of London, said he could always tell the difference between the British and German aircraft dogfighting overhead, by the sound of their engines.
