Rolls-Royce Crecy powered fighter

[Cjc]

I am unsure if this belongs in this thread or the alternate history thread, but if I choose wrong hopefully the mods can make it right.

This thread is more about what a creacy powered fighter would look like. the spitfire gust wasn't built for the power the engine could provide, so what would a aircraft built for it have looked like?

See the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust book on the Crecy for the Crecy aircraft.

From Wikipedia:
"In 1942 Rolls-Royce Hucknall received a North American P-51 Mustang for engine installation trials. This prompted a series of studies for a Crecy version and the Mustang turned out a more suitable mount than the Spitfire. However these studies were not taken further."

Maybe put it on a Fury / Sea Fury?

Like the other engine, which tried its best to wring aircraft fuselage, between terrifying pilots, this clearly needed contra-rotating propellers...

I've heard "Cressy" (by a brit).

When I read about the battle my mind said "Crechy"

The proposed Mustang installation was intended for contra rotating propellers

Given the Engine is named after the Battle of Crécy

Unless you're the Admiralty, in which case you spell it Cressy.
