FS Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 It's a tribute overflight to Rolls Royce workers at the various Scottish Rolls Royce sites associated with the Merlin engine. T'was meant to happen a year or so ago but some diddy accidentally lifted the undercarriage on the ground causing damage. The Spitfire is overnighting in the Loganair hangar at the Paisley-drome and will depart tomorrow morning. Apologies for the on-topic reply...

You're spot on about the distinctive sound of the Merlin , personally , I love it . However , from around 1942 (MK XII?) the Spitfire was fitted with the Griffon engine , sounds similar but perhaps sounds a bit heaver per the prop' on it. .

Lord Pityme Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Didn't catch the Spitfire flypast, but whilst holidaying jersey they had a Lancaster Bomber flying around the island to commemorate d-day, or something. Standing nepxt to an auld bloke by the harbour he said " it brings a tear to your eye t o see it" I said ' so you fae Hamburg then?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
