Jerry Billings displays are my favourite videos, he seems to be the only guy who can push the Spit to make it's melodic whistling.

Just listen to that Merlin at 1:27!!! Sounds like an angry beast!!! :)

[bellemei]

That's my uncle :D

[Irvine5312x6ma]

Perfect maneuvering, perfect everything... respect the effort he made!!!

[CobraMarty]

Love the Merlin V12's sound. Mustang and Spitfire had similar engines, and were both Supercharged

Some time in the war the carbs were modified so they could handle negative G. fact.

Love it, reminds me of 1941 London.

No the motor was a Merlin 76 ( off of a mossi, port wing) with original carb setup. Jerry had it down to a art on how long he could keep it inverted before the motor quit. Once at Reno ( 81 ) in SL721 he made a inverted pass about 50ft anlong the crowd and had the motor quit, overprimed and shot flame 4 ft out the stacks, quit a character : )

[blueknight2004]

[propfan2k]

Holy cow! That some great footage!! That's some great airplane!!! Excellent job by pilot & videographer.

christ lucky he didnt kill himself

[DavidCheeseman]

luck has nothing to do with it, 52.5 years behind the controls does.
