They don't really purr they snarl and crackle like the biggest Harley ever.

I could have sworn a character said they did or something to that effect.

It occurred to me that I heard a Harley and thought - "That sounds like a Spitfire," and not really the other way around.

I have never actually seen a Spitfire.

Here is a weird freaking story. 5 or 6 years ago some guy said he had located 20 Spitfires - STILL IN THE PACKING CRATES. They were located in Myanmar. The Brits simply buried them after the war. He got a license from the Myanmar government to retrieve them.





These were the very latest Mark with the Griffon engine, which yes, also snarls and crackles.

Well, he never did. Turns out there were water and electric lines laid over them or some other problem, and he never got them.



Yeah, they shipped them in big crates. These would be priceless on the market because they haven't been wrenched around in High G turns for 70 years.

frick.
