Just what I thought; searched for vid of G-mech CS100 and that came up. Seems to loose revs big time on that bit and operator having to do a lot of stress control. On my J-B I could drop and walk away and the engine would barely load down...

Yes; avatar is later version which was probably well over 1500 hp, over 2000 was achieved prior to the Griffon. The evocative sound of one of these shifting overhead is pure glory imo

Pure glory imo too, I used to work next to an airfield where they regularly serviced and tested display spitfires, truly awesome, never tired of watching and listening to a truly magical engine:thumbup:

I defy any true brit who hears one pass overhead to not have the hairs on the back of their neck stand up.

I think jo-beau and Gloria would be friends if they met. Maybe even form some sort of relationship
