@jobu88 Yes they did! Go and find yourself a picture of the MK XIV, XIX, MK 22, or MK24. They were fitted with the Griffon engine, 37 litre capacity, compared to the Merlin's 27 itre capacity. They punted out 2050 Bhp in standard format. 460 Mph, twice the rate of climb of a MK1 & FIVE times the weight of firepower! All the aforementioned MK's had a five blade prop.
go for "IWC Pilots" on youtube and you'll find the Ju52. And yes, in this short photocamera-made clip the big baby is a b25. (ps: one the spitfires participated in d-day in WW2, the other one was in Marocco, and later both were featured also in "pearl harbour" (shot by the same director of photography as for this film)
