Christer,

I can imagine seeing you sitting in that comfortable seat with a pile of books next to it (my brain still hurts from all that information but it is very very interesting).

Ok, so putting a pumped up Merlin into a Spitfire doesn't change things because the airframe of a Sptifire isn't as aerodynamically clean as the Mustang is. But that is explained because there is almost five years between the two and the developments of aerodynamics had improved.

I think it has come up before, but what if a PR XIX Spitfire is lightened and the radiators modified to decrease the frontal aream, would that make a potent competitor at Reno?
