Here is our local Vintage Wings of Canada P51 attempting to start a few times. He seems to have had a flooding problem and actually has flames shooting out of the exhaust. Ironic that the Mustang is the one that Spits Fire!
Third time was the charm. Then the Merlin Powered Spitfire starts up after a little trying. Flying shots include my 3 year olds airplane recognition skills. From August 2006 at the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
Video quality is poor, but the sound is nice!

Watching those Spits and hearing that kid's reaction brought me to tears. My father was a navigator in the RAF in WWII and I was brought up in awe of the Spit, the Hurricaine and the Mosquito.

The sound of those old engine's makes my hairs stand up! I hope I can always hear them when the need arises!

The equivalent version of the Spitfire (mk XIV) is actually slightly faster then the P-51D. The Mustang had the range of the escort fighter it was. The Spit had the climb rate and cannon firepower of the interceptor it was.

@kinkaid25 The Griffon was first used on the Spitfire Mk XII (12)

@SupersonicStu06 Well, I think it's a pleasure to debate "Mustang" vs "Spitfire" both works of engineering art. But the Mustang had a Packard-Merlin engine. Significantly different in detail from the original, finely crafted beast.

The RAF used almost every version of the Mustang from the A to the K, so there is nothing wrong with having a D in British colours. Although RAF D version Mustangs usually wore 'standard' camo, some of them were left all silver like American aircraft except of course for the RAF roundals!

the hurricane actually outdid the spitfire in kills during ww2. mainly cuz they headed for the bombers while the spits fought of the 109's so it depends on which statistics you have as reference. but when it comes to dogfights the spitfire's truly sharp edge.
