[QUOTE="riptragle1953, post: 42383, member: 2328"] Greg... it is my pleasure that you and maybe some others enjoyed those engines. I envy the fact that you have been able to hear these brutes speak! I never have .... I wish I had. Although going off topic is considered wrong I have never-the-less learned some great stuff when this has happened. What does "the Griffin Growl" sound like I wonder? I have built a little collection of what I consider iconic fighters of WWII, and it my doing so learned of a plane I had never heard of. Built in small numbers it had the respect of all the pilots involved in the conflict. And it's a beauty! The Macchi MC.205 Veltro. Benze power but totally under armed.... the Veltro pilots were delighted when, after a long wait, it was finally fitted with a cannon. I read an account of an old Veltro pilot who's patrol of five Veltro was jumped by no less than 80 Spitfires. They must have done well as he lived to tell the tale! Englishmen, be not slighted ... the Spits were flown by Greeks. [/QUOTE]
