Gli han montato il Merlin quando l'hanno revisionato:
In 1989, after filming in ‘Memphis Belle’, the aircraft was given a complete overhaul by The Fighter Collection at Duxford. The airframe was remarkably free of corrosion and damage, but a full strip down and component overhaul was undertaken. An overhauled original flying panel was installed. The rear fuel tank in the fuselage was removed and a wartime style modification made to fit a ‘dickey’ seat. This ‘mod’ in 1944 allowed Eisenhower to survey the D-day beaches from the back of a Mustang. A special 1760hp Merlin engine currently powers the aircraft.
Io la sapevo come il Forno, ovvero il radiatore ventrale dava quel classico urlo nei pasaggi veloci, pero' ho letto da qualche parte che sarebbe il compressore a fare quel rumore.. il fatto e' che ho sentito quel rumore anche su quelli che montavano il Packard da oltre 1400 HP (ad esempio questa estate ad Atlantic City).
