A fine place to listen to the engine noise of a Merlin is the air-strike scene
in the '80s movie, "Empire of the Sun". Jim runs up the tower and
exclaims,"P-51! Cadillac of the sky!", as US P-51s strafe the Japanese air
field near Shanghai. Outstanding.

I'm off tomorrow morning to retrieve my '64
TR4 from east Tennessee, where it lost its oil pump at the "Tail of the
Dragon" on the way to Jekyll Island last month.

brgds, Jay
