Hi Jonas Pilot,
Nothing like the sweet sound of this very prestigious bird. I got to listen to some flyovers when I lived in Andover MA back in the late forties. I will never forget that sound as long as I live. Music to my ears!

After a late retro fit and improvements in the ero design of this aircraft, the Rolls-Royce supercharged engine greatly improved air speed and raw horse power, and of caurse an even greater sounding fly over.
