The P51-D variant certainly did, built by Packard if memory serves.

Hadn't seen that before - thanks for sharing.
There is nothing in aviation to compare to the Vulcan when it comes to noise for me - absolutely perfect, and the howl makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time.
I may have already shared it on this thread, but this video was taken at the Yorkshire Airshow 2015, the last time I saw XH558 fly:

Definitely the best of the selection in my view, although they're all pretty impressive in their own way.

I saw this on Twitter, and thought it was worth posting here.
Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of Sir Douglas Bader's death, and this anecdote about him was printed in The Times:

Random bounce, but has anyone ever been to the Cold War Jets fast taxi day at Bruntingthorpe?
My partner and I are thinking of going (its next Sunday), and on paper the idea of watching and hearing Lightnings, a Buccaneer, Victor, Canberra, Nimrod, Comet, VC10, Delfin, JP and Hunter doing their stuff is very appealing, but personal experiences are always welcome. [emoji106]

Been once, it's a bit of a chunk of money for what it is but I guess it goes toward the restoration of the planes so.... The noise is good, they'll have a few vans selling food and drink, decent atmosphere. TBH, I think my memory is tainted by the fact it was freezing and we weren't dressed for it. And the Victor went tech on us....

Biggin Hill Festival of Flight this weekend so there should be plenty of Historic/Interesting Aircraft flying around that bit of Kent.
And of course Goodwood Revival is with us shortly, always get a good amount of WWII Aircraft displaying. If you are a cheapskate you can ride your motorcycle to an adjacent road, park up and watch for free. Never done it myself of course...

It did a UK tour a couple of years back when they retired them from shows.
