I love the sound of propeller driven aircraft. I can still identify the type of WWII aircraft from the sound.

There is no sound like a Merlin.

Goosebumps.

“There is no sound like a Merlin.”

Somewhere there is a calculation of how much air was pushed thru the Merlin at full throttle(expressed in mph). It was enough thrust to add considerable forward speed to the aircraft.
