Spitfire I 282

Not sure how accurate and helpful they are as no information about engine version / MFP and rpm is provided other than corrected BHP at FT height which is 950 for the 601, 965 for Merlin III and 1075 for Merlin XX.

Sounds about right for A-1 at SL, 1.35ata at 2400 rpm though.

Robo,

I am no expert, so please go easy with me as I try to clear the fog in my head over all this, but I assume that the above speeds for the Hurricane and Spitfire would be increased at low level with operation of the emergency boost cut-out with 100 Octane fuel (by approx 30 mph)? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Happy landings,

Talisman
