it was a 2 seater, prob not much louder than a souped up Clio...doubt you would hear it unless you were around 7 springs/Wolsley area....

more like you heard it on the radio 🙂

Think you'd hear a Clio hitting the ground from a few hundred feet up

maybe, maybe not...

[i]"Local resident Gerald Simpkin saw the plane come down and described it as looking like it was performing acrobatics.

He said: "We expected it to come back again but it didn't.

"We did not hear anything. There was no explosion, no smoke. A few minutes later we saw air ambulances arrive."[/i]
