She's a sorry state for sure now
Looked bad enough back in the 'eighties when I last saw her, from what I remember Redair oneside Redcoat the other but pics show the titles have faded right off now.
Must be sad for you Leif with so many memories of here alive

She was according to my log book the last Brit I flew on in 1975 - from Sharjah to Gatwick

Although she is a mess she does fulfil an historic purpose as the last Brit at Luton.

I saw XM496 (Kemble) run all engines at the '98 Airshow there. But she was parked over the other side of the runway, so I could hardly hear her, and I think it was only up to ground idle. From what I remember there was an element of ground idle Tyne sound, but mainly a 'swishing' sound. It WAS due to do a taxi demo that day, but they had a brake problem.
That's the only time they've run it at Kemble Airshows.
When I went on board that Brit once, they played a video of it doing its last 'daisy cutter' flypast and then landing at Kemble. Someone needs to get hold of that.
I'm sure DD entertainment (Ithink it is) will release Buccaneer soon...hopefully.
The Brit is my favorite propliner!

Hi Garry,
Another attempt:

Britannia is from about 17 mins 20 onwards so I recommend fast forwarding to it. Since the previous comments about sound being dubbed over the top,I'm not expecting much, but some nice video for you to watch if nothing else. I suspect the fly-by doppler sound is actually a taxi-past doppler effect - doesn't scream enough!

Thanks Toby
The whole makes an interesting clip.
As to sound though, still none the wiser as I've never heard one..........over to those that have.
Doesn't seem the noise matches the movement

Sounds very much like I remember but still very jetty. Trouble is the video kept stopping to load so it may have affected the playback sound.

Brilliant find, Toby
I even mellowed enough to forgive the (obviously young) person who wrote the running notes, and probably never saw a
proper airliner (propliner for short).
It must be Christmas, or something.
