Nice one Davedog......................................
This 486 Sqn RNZAF Tempest was used in the film by the Air Ministery for air recognition for the original perpose of getting AA unit on airfield and coastal defence units not to shoot it down !!. These 486Sqn Tempest's were later fitted with uprated Rotol airscrews when the max engine rpm was inceased to 3850 rev's and 13lb boost ..... the original De Havilland screws has a habit of shredding the prop blades !!!. This was done to allow the Tempest V to overhaul the V1 flying bomb at 400mph+, something 486 Sqn did well at shooting down nearly 240 of them.
Once nice thought........I wonder what B.o.S used to replicate the sound ?.... I hope its close to the original as it gives me goose pimples !
Mind you...If EJ693 being restored by Kermit Weeks ever gets airborne.....I for one will be on plane to sunny Florida .... Sod Disney......Im there for that sweet sound !!
