Sorry, Scott, but the sound of a Jumo-powered 88 would be everything !!!! :-) Well, obviously, it wouldn't be everything, but I hope you can see what I mean ! ;-)
I hope that one day I will be able to hear a couple of Jumos, and I'm sure that it's going to be incredible. The sound of Black 6 109 was a real treat, for example - so different and un-British-like.
