Beauty meets the Beast.
Two legendary fighters. Two Rolls-Royce V12s. Two completely different sounds.
Follow the beautiful P-51D/TF-51D Mustang “Miss Ava” from engine start, taxi and takeoff to her powerful low passes — before the brutal sound of the Spitfire Mk XIV and its 2,240 cubic inch (36.7 litre) Rolls-Royce Griffon enters the scene.
From there, the two legends alternate in the air: the unmistakable sound of the Mustang's Merlin against the deep, aggressive growl of the Griffon-powered Spitfire.
The film follows both aircraft through their passes until the final landing of Miss Ava.
🎧 Turn up the volume and enjoy the engines!

40,000 rivets being hauled by 4 Griffon... an amazing sound and sight on clear evenings.
Would love to hear a Griffon Spitfire being 'shown the gate'.
