This Merlin engined Spitfire PR.11 PL965 (G-MKXI) turned up at Old Warden at the weekend and did a fantastic display. The sound I recorded starts with the aircraft looping over the field and then a fast flyover right on axis with my mic setup.
Another one of the great aircraft at Hanger 11, North Weald. More information from the Hanger 11 web site.
For a change I took my camera and took a few snaps instead of relying on Wikpedia content.

This Spitfire MK XVIE CBAF.IX.4262 (G-OXVI) was recorded in 2008 at the Little Gransden Airshow, UK. Not too sure about these later mark Spitifires but a little research would indicate this a Packard built Rolls-Royce Merlin. If anyone can confirm this, I’d appreciate it. This aircraft is operated by Spitfire Ltd.
There’s quite a bit of crowd noise on this recording so I’ve made an edit of the best bits. Sometimes crowd noise adds to the sound – not always.
