I just posted to this thread and my post has vanished !!
What I said was, I loved the Lightning pic - Rolls-Royce never advertised the horsepower of their cars, they just said it was 'adequate' , The RAF went along with that, and just said a Lightning was 'capable of 50,000ft/min in a vertical climb' . How well I remember those two orange circles disappearing into the ether.
Thanks Marty

MikeW'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'
