What's better than a Merlin engine, 4 of the bastards. Avro Lancaster Bomber closeup sound flypast - YouTube
maybe not a contender for best but really envy these people :- 917 engine starting - 1st time in 30 years - YouTube (watch out for sophisticated spanner usage :smile
2 typhoon 2's dogfighting in the mountains up in the highlands did it for me, thought i was gonna get blown off my feet. Standing next to the 990 ducati gp bike warming up was bloody amazing too
2 or 4 stroke,doesnt matter.As long as its a sweet engine with a loud pipe and its being given the beans,itll do it for me.
That's the one that does it for me too drinky -once had a half day at work and on the way home a Lancaster did a simulated bombing run up the derwent valley in the Peak District as I drove through it. It was on one of the dam buster anniversaries and the sound of those merlins as the plane banked low and slow at the head of the valley then accelerated off at a few hundred feet is something that'll live with me forever...
