We've all heard Spits and Hurries in airshows, plus the iconic Merlin engine sounds in a number of movies. I was really hoping that Cliffs of Dover would stir the heart in the same manner! See what you think:



Yes but an early Merlin with 3 bladed prop sounds very differrent to a 4 bladed later Merlin that we are generally more familiar with.

The more raucous sounding Merlin in this video is a later model thats outside the view. Its a good contrast to the more subtle 3 blade sound.

The 3 Ship here (below) is a stunning bit of video
