I think you mean Supermarine Spitfire, Godfrey! Supercharged 27L V12 Rolls
Royce Merlin/Griffon engines. When they changed the exhausts to point
backwards like that, the max velocity increased by 30mph. A magnificent
example.

Thanks Rick!
It's a Spitfire Super Aquamarine. Hard to see from this angle as I was
concentrating on the Merlin exhaust stack with the ultra-ultra-wide lens,
but it's the same plane as in this photo:

There you can see the tell-tale shape of the Spitfire fuselage and wing. :-)

Very nice composition, rendering, and title, Godfrey. I like the interplay
of the diagonal lines and row of circular exhausts; and I can imagine each
cylinder pining for the chance to pull the plane into the air.
A P-51?
