the sound of a Spitfire flying past
I used to live in one of the old Bletchley Park terraced cottages right next to the park. A fair few weekends in summer we'd have two spitfires accompanying a Lancaster bomber flying past. Incredible noise.

I used to live in Woolston where the things were invented. There was an eagerly anticipated special anniversary event a few years back where they flew all the surviving planes up Southampton Water..... But on the Hythe side - about 2 miles away. They were dots on the skyline. Man, were we cross.

the sound of a Spitfire flying past...I'm no boomer, but damn, that Merlin sounds good.
lucky enough to live on the coast where old warbirds fly past frequently, and you know when a Spitfire is coming by at 400'
