North American Harvard Trainers

Sound of a pair of Harvard trainers chasing around Old Warden.

Harvards have a very particular sound as like a Stearman there is no gearing between the engine and propeller which consequently moves very fast, with the propeller tips breaking the speed of sound as they turn.
