Awesome Whistle And Roar As The Mustang Swoops Low
The P51-D Mustang is without doubt a favourite of warbird enthusiasts worldwide, and there's nothing quite like the roar and whistle that the Merlin-powered aircraft creates when it's being displayed at low altitude...
When this photo was taken in 2014, 'Marinell' was owned and operated by the Hardwick Warbirds group in the East Anglia area of the UK. The aircraft was seen taking off prior to a display at Little Gransden. Photo: Historical Aviation Film Unit
This video shows the P51 at low level, displaying at the Little Gransden airshow in the UK.
There appears to be much debate as to what part of the P51 actualy causes the whistling sound. Some enthusiasts claim it's the supercharger, while others say it's the sound of the airflow across the gun ports, while yet others say it's the cooling ducts under the wings. Whatever the truth of the matter is, it's simply an awesome sound to hear in conjunction with the roar of a v-12 Rolls Royce (or Packard-built) Merlin engine.
