“Rolls-Royce engines in the Spitfire. “

Now that BMW has the “Merlin Technology,” they can start building “MesserSpits!”

Nothing sounds like a Merlin. This past weekend one of our neighbors here had his P-51 out giving rides in observance of Memorial Day. We also had a B-17 lumbering back and forth between Livermore and Concord giving “rides!”
