Fook me Mark, you're an old bugger, my uncle used to own one of those. Twas sold after his death for 3 odd grand. He'd owned it from new but had pranged it, with my grandfather on pillion. They both spent alot of time in hospital after. My uncle never trusted the bike after that and never road it again, he would not sell it either. It gathered dust in many places for 20 odd years, untill his death.

As for evocotive sounds, Scout does it for me. I have been out of the job for over 20 years. Heard a 'scout' landing at a hotel on the way to work a few months back. Said to my mate fok me I can hear a scout.........He's say's WTF is that............*cranes neck* points at sky, that thing.

I was gonna say the dirty squelch as you violently withdraw your meat from a dirty fat slappers baggy minge after you've all just finished going 3s up.

Or a 432

my Avatar might give it away. you feel it 5 miles away and named one of my Shepherds after them becase she goes all twitchy when one's overhead. Gives me goosebumps every time. They're 40 years old and i can't see them being replaced for many years.

Puma? ;)

Bedford engines seem to remind me alot of my past but a sound that still makes me stop and think is that of a Snatch with air conditioning running.

You mean the top cover, and the back doors open?

The racket of three Chieftans pulling past Bovvy entrance when I was six (frightening) had to look up out the car window :D

Nimrod at the Cenotaph...works everytime...sniff.

Still have an RD350lc on spannies (swarbricks ) and K&Ns , still sounds as good as they did first time round.

Loads of good sound memories , think the merlin is the winner so far , but why ? I,m at least four generations to young to remember them in service , my family has no connections with the RAF , yet the sight and sound of a Spit can bring tears to my eyes , I do share the same birthday if you count her birth as the first flight , and why she ?

You must have been an Ociffer, no self respecting Tom would have smoked a 'Marlboro.................The man died ffs, those things give you cancer! I always proffered 'Embassy No1'

The rattling noise the spoon makes as you scrape the last of the Ambrosia creamed rice pudding out of the (corrugated) tin can.
One of the joys of camping as a boy scout many many years ago...

The sound of a pipe band firing up. Pipe music: Music to kill people by.

One for our American cousins:

...fill your boots guys (needs Realplayer).

The loud droning/roaring of a pair of Rolls Royce Trent 700s at full chat not-very-many metres from you as the A330 they're attached to starts racing down the runway :D .
