Re: Most evocative sounds
How about the "tissk - phhhhhoooooommmmmmmsshhhhh" of a trip flare, followed by shouts of "[insert name here], you dozy cnut!" because it was one you were setting up for a night ambush on ex.
The Lancaster is a good one. A Lightning on re-heat is also a winner.

Re: Most evocative sounds
The sizzle of bacon in the pan.
The crackle of a fried egg ...just before you turn the heat down.
The rustle of the bread wrapper.
Kettle clicking off
The slam of the kitchen door as the smoke alarm goes off in the hall.Fuck it.

Re: Most evocative sounds
"break into double time...."
"prepare to move..."
"standby..."
All make me think "here we fcuking go...""I firmly believe that we should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war." George Bush Snr, A World Transformed, 1998

Re: Most evocative sounds
Conqs moving around at night on Soltau,you could feel deep thunder in your stomach.
Tanks are easily identified, easily engaged, much-feared targets which attract all the fire on the battlefield. When all is said and done, a tank is a small steel box crammed with inflammable or explosive substances which is easily converted into a mobile crematorium for its highly skilled crew."

The slow start up of a very cold CRARRV one morning in BATUS, makes me shiver now at how F*cking cold it was. :(

For Dutch soldiers it's that slap, slap sound as somebody beats a flaccid penis against their necks ... knowing they have been zwaffelled yet again!
Years ago it was suggested that an apple a day kept the doctor away. But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works best.
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself; I’m having that.

Re: Most evocative sounds
The feeling of butt against your shoulder as you cock a GPMG, then the erotic thumping of the rds disappearing down range. Guaranteed to press the prostate button.

It is related further that the queen was awed by Solomon's great wisdom and wealth, and pronounced a blessing on Solomon's deity. Solomon reciprocated with gifts and "everything she desired - lucky girl”!

Re: Most evocative sounds
"Red On"........you hardly ever hear the Go!
The crack of the canopy opening.
Flowers of the Forest on the pipes.
The rain lashing against your basha in the middle of the night when your dry and warm underneath.
Oh and fanny Farts.

Re: Most evocative sounds
The sound of a Cent AVRE bulldozing tank positions at night, Exhausts glowing red and popping and crackling every now and then as the driver hits the governors.
The screaming bellow of a Chieftain hammering away under full throttle.
The sound of a weapon being cocked close to you that you didnt know was there when you are in some emerging nation (sh1thole).3; 2; 1; Firing NOW.........
3; 2; 1; Firing NOW ........
FFS Pass me the bloody matches.

Re: Most evocative sounds
The sound of Archer's post at night when there's no movement or firing (or blokes shitting thorugh the eye of a needle).

Re: Most evocative sounds
Oh and the earsplitting roar as a Chieftain lets loose an APFSDS propelled by Torpex 4 being used as a propellant as oposed to its more normal use as HE.
