...and you all know what it is!
The BBMF Spitfire has just made a couple of low passes over the village. Lovely. I can't understand why the wife doesn't appreciate it!
Even thinking of it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...
😀
The best sound I've heard lately was the equivalent of eight Spitfires flying over together.
Two Lancs!
I know what you mean though.
Never heard that.
But for me it's a super super super bike letting rip. Even better heard on a motorway in the distance.
*squirrel*
No no it's the sound of fresh snow 'squeaking' under a snowboard
Possibly the sound of the wife snoring upstairs so i get a bit of 'me' time downstairs 😀
I was out on the road bike tonight and some bloke booted his TVR past me - quite similar to a low pass from a spitfire, I imagine
Law clearly states that someone has to post this:
You're all wrong.
A few years ago, I was on holiday in Florida, and was lucky enough to catch a rocket launch.
Couple of miles outside minimum safe distance, makes your fillings rattle.
it's a fair point cougar - seem to remember feeling it about 5 minutes before hearing it
I saw a Lancaster over Ladybower last year. That sounded lovely.
The sound of the Merlin is awesome, we get low passes a lot with RR a mile away. Had two Lancasters fly over Ambleside Sunday morning too!! 🙂 My wife wouldn't let me call our lad Merlin (and not after the bloody wizard).

A close 2nd to the sound of a 27ltr Merlin engine was/is the sound of a (circa) 1975 MV Agusta 500cc.
As heard at Olivers Mount & ridden by Giacomo Agostini & Phil Read.
I was there! *shivers*
I see your 2 lancs and raise you another!

Alas sold out and the boys birthday 🙁
You're all wrong......
The sound of a fine red being poured....glug glug glut.
I work at RR, the company spitfire* often does a flypast. It's great when it does - in fact, last week i was in the bowels of the building and i heard it go over. They'd forgotten to tell us, but you could tell what it was from the sound proofed meeting rooms on the ground floor.
*seriously
I was lucky enough to be around watching Saturn Rockets being shot into the sky, mind I was a teeny baby but I know what Cougar means. The sound has stayed with me to this very day. Clearly never appreciated the importance of what was happening, my Dad did, me probably fell asleep on his shoulder for the first couple of visits I was able to make..
Sum of Awe.
I imagine that the greatest sound in the world would be Clare Grogan's knickers hitting the floor circa 1981
