Re: Most evocative sounds
The Avro Vulcan in the old days when it stood on it's tail with the four Olympus engines on full power and just went straight up.
Ground shook, everything shook, fantastic noise !

Re: Most evocative sounds
The 'whoomf' when you fired your first live 84mm round from a Charlie G. Even though, despite two sets of ear defence, you couldn't hear anything for the rest of the day and there was blood coming out of your ears and eyes.
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 whisper of "stand to - stand to" at 0daftoclock on a cold, foggy morinig in Soltau. Knowing that a brew, a Marlboro and breakie was next on the agenda

Re: Most evocative sounds
TVR Griffith getting a goodly thrashing.......
Some days you wake and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong, it's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble ahead..... Formally known as Mucus, before I lost the log in....
Well two days of digging and searching in the general area and we still haven't found the cunting leak. Surely there must be technology more accurate than a grumpy old bloke in a yellow hi-vis coat, wielding a length of dowelling on a thread bobbin and claiming there may be a leak in the generic area known as "under there"?

I hope you had a Man to clean your kit. And I hope he was understanding as well as blind and devoid of a sense of smell! Originally Posted by tattybadger

Re: Most evocative sounds
The quiet lapping of the sea against a warm sandy beach in the early hours after a few beers, a reefer and a 20 second shag, followed by kip on the beach.

Re: Most evocative sounds
Two 500 watt charging engines sputtering away all night on a rebro, and the sudden deep silence when they are stopped for an oil check.
A Number One burner whooffffing into life, and the knowledge that egg banjoes and a brew will soon come.
The BBC World Service reminding that the world still exists somewhere.
The click of the igniters as an Astazou or Nimbus start up.
The clang of lead on steel in a Falling Plate competition.
A spotter reporting "magpie, bull, inner" etc.The balance of probablity is that the aforegoing post will, at some stage, have been edited for mongtype.
