Such a clean airframe for that time, look at the location of the radiators - reminiscent of the Mossie and Tempest II, or even the Hornet.  Look how fast that was with decent engines ;)

Put the Whirlwind in, and include the Fairey Battle to even things up!

Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

Umm... the Whirlwind was built in 1939 and became operational in mid-1940, while the 410 went operational in what, '44?

Hardly "even", IMHO.
