Chris I grew up with that sound - besides the fact that Glosters Launched
1-2 a day out of the factory AND the test pilots had a habit of doing a low
pass inverted (to shake out any loose nuts and bolts) before going to
Moreton Valance they also used to put them in the run up pens (which
although impressive didnt really muffle much) so it might explain why I
have a thing about horror movies LOL

Its a really odd noise and Im not sure wether its intake or exhaust sound

More like something from the BBC's radiophonic workshop, which produced the soundtrack for Dr Who!!! Ooo...???

Yeh,I know what you mean.I think their by-pass ratio's were only
around 4:1,still loads of whistle and hiss .

These modern fans have more in common
with a turbo-prop or ducted-fan.

I can remember Caravelles going over from MIA(Ringway!!) back when I was nipper in the '60(we've always lived in or around Congleton-under the old flight path) and the racket from them was appalling even when they were at around 15,000'.

Mark :-({|=

Yes Mark

The ones now days are high bypass and it is hard to imagine hearing some how powerfull they are.

The older turbo jets have a fraction of the power but the noise and smoke and the hammering of the chest with the soundwaves gave an all together different impression.

Click the link and on the left you'll see "Javelin sounds".

Read the text and then listen to 'em.

Here's the link to those turbo-jet sounds.

rascals though

I remember being at the East fortune airshow and the Tornado making the ground rumble from the engine noise - it was like the day of armageddon!!

Garry,

You mention the hammering of the chest that you got with the older jets. It is a feeling I know well having lived, until recently, with the runway of RAF Leeming at the end of my garden. An F3 pairs take off in the right weather conditions could almost turn the insides to jelly! I lived there for 13 years and was registered as a 'nutter' by the locals for actually buying a house so close to the airfield and then not complaining about the noise.

One partiicularly memorable noise occasion was when a Bruggen Tornado sqn was taking part in the fly past at the Trooping of the Colour. Timing meant a fairly rapid Squadron pairs takeoff with the aircraft barely airborne before the next pair were accelerating behind them. All went well until around the 4th pair when one unfortunate had a reheat fail. Never seen such a fast taxi as that. All went well and the flypast continued with a reserve aircraft slotting into the vacant space.

Working from home meant that I saw/heard most of the action, including the last fly through by the good old Lightning, more than one 'hairy' landing and the An 125 calling in to transport supplies, we did wonder if it would manage to take off again.

Anyway, for anyone who remembers the guy in the electric wheelchair (buggy) sitting at the crashgate in all weathers - it was me! Happy days, now I live in an urban jungle where kids smash everything without fear of punishment.

I've come over all nostalgic - nurse, nurse get my pills..............
