This is CGI. Here is the Hawker Tempest MkV. We can only hope that one day someone fires up a Napier Sabre engine again, but for now this is our best attempt at recreating its sound. The Sabre was a 24-cylinder powerhouse, so it’s likely that at high speed its RPM would remain relatively low—resulting in a deeper, lower-pitched engine note. | SpitfireCGI

Hawker Aircraft’s Tempest II - destined for Tiger Force, the end of the war and the advent of the jet engine meant the end for the type, although the Fury would soon see service thereafter #warbirds #ww2 #hawker #tempest #ww2history | Daniel J Wheatcroft
