Merlin Engine Sounds

Does anyone know when a sound track (downloadable) of an early Spitfire (with a merlin) flying can be located?

There was an LP available many years ago of WW2 aircraft sounds from a variety of sources, ranging from early Spitfire through onboard recording of German bombers (He111?), Me 262, a few Japanese and live sound from the receiving end of a kamikaze attack. Anyone know if it’s ever been released on CD?
I’ve got – or had – a copy somewhere, but that was about four house moves ago. I’ll see if I can dig it up. Is this the one Robert Whitton is thinking about?

I have a cd or two one is sounds of Duxford
http://www.iwmshop.org.uk/product/9100/Sounds_of_Duxford_CD

Whilst i was looking for the other one i found this site-not sure if it is any use
http://www.aircraftrecords.com/

Having looked at the sleeve and write up the recordings do seem to be more than one merlin at a time.
I found this thread https://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-118853.html

http://www.shuttleworth.org/shop_2008/category_music.asp might be worth ringing them.

Thanks Nashio966 but they seem to be ringtone length and I am looking for something a bit longer. I also remember a record of wartime sounds but just cant locate a source so far in “modern” format.
