Sounds for a Spitfire Mk 1 Question ?

The sound doesn't really change all that much between different Merlin versions, the development was mainly on superchargers and the supercharger itself doesn't produce noticable noise over the exhaust and propeller. It's mainly the increased boost that gives extra "bite" to the sound but then again the Merlin III in Spitfire Mk I was already running at +12 lbs on emergency power, not that much less than the later models as long as 150 grade fuel isn't considered.
