strange how the usually beautiful lines of the spit are disturbed by LW's blunt style of markings.

Not to mention the Daimler Benz in place of the Merlin.

It performed about the same. A DB605A and its Merlin counterpart of the time had simmilar power.

Anyway pre-griffon spits are so ugly as it is nothing can help, not even attractive LW markings or tasteful cosmetic alterations.
