IF it had the Merlin then it might have been a lot better. But it didnt, think it was the only aeroplane to have the Peregrin engine. Wasnt used in the Battle of Britain.
As to the flightmodel. It may have turbines or whatever, but remember it is free. He's trying his best, isnt he?

Oh Right I always thought it took part in BoB

Cheers for that Dave. Much better now, for me anyway, but I am easily pleased.
Still kept the merlins in 'cause I like their sound

Some info about the plane.

They say
only two RAF squadrons would be equipped with the Whirlwind, and despite successful use as a fighter-bomber, its service life was short But the Hawker Typhoon out did it :flying:
