Jan 27 (0)  Trackside recording of the Peppercorn 60163 Tornado passing along the old LNER route in Bedfordshire. The recording starts with the sound of the whistle a few hundred yards away and the the locomotive and train passing very close at high speed.

Nov 17 (0) The Bristol f.2b Fighter makes one of my favourite aircraft sounds. Each time I record it I discover another facet of the complex soundscape it generates. The sounds the Rolls-Royce Falcon III on this machine makes sounds like the whine of a supercharger when you get downwind of it flying but I think this is the sound of the epicyclic gearing, which I think in itself is a unique feature in an engine this early.

The picture below was taken during the display.  Bristol Fighter, August 2009 Oct 07 (2)  I been trying out some of my kit recently and dusted off my old AT822 and paired it up with a Zoom H2. No the best sounding chain of gear but I was struck by how good the AT822 sounds even considering the significant noise it produces when working with the H2 (I’m sure it wasn’t this noisy with a Hi-MD). The H2 in-built mics are OK for Instamatic recording and the AT822 has good stereo field where the H2 mics do not at the expense of noise for which, in most urban and similar environments, is perceptibly lost thanks to my brain helping out. A plus side on the external mic is the low cut for windy situations and the fact that the mic units in their assemblies are much more tolerant to wind than the H2 in-builts. So, as a workable set up for Instamatic sound recording, a little bulkier and a lot less stealthy but overall, worth the effort. I think that if Sony managed to get their act together on Hi-MD usability I’d still be using my units regularly and so would many others.

Aug 13 (0)  Another recording on my new web site http://www.field-recording.org.uk/hawker-demon-august-2009/ Aug 13 (0) I’ve posted a recording of a Hawker Hunter on my new website. It is available from http://www.field-recording.org.uk/hawker-hunter-fga-9-g-etps/ Aug 04 (0) The BAC Strikemaster is the same aircraft as a Jet Provost (the piston version being recorded elsewhere in this blog). As a militarised trainer, the aircraft looks very aerobatic in display. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Viper Mk.535 turbojet producing 3,410 lbf (15.2 kN). Doing a bit of digging around using the aircraft serial number, this may not be the billed Strikemaster but a T.3 Jet Provost. Some information from Jet Provost Heaven
