Hawker Sea Hurricane 3rd May, 2009

This is a recording made at Old Warden on 3rd May of their resident Hawker Sea Hurricane.

This is a longer recording than I usually post and has a bit of work applied to it – a windy day. The Hurricane is still filling in for the finale their whilst the spit is undergoing an overhaul (3 or so years now I think).

Recorded using a Rode NT5 into a Fostex FR2-LE with a little work in Audacity with a high pass filter, with some compression in Reaper to keep things level, but not too much.

Bristol F2-B Fighter

The Brisfit has in my opinion the most interesting sounding engine (Rolls-Royce Falcon) of all the World War One Aircraft.

This is a recording of one passing right overhead on take off. This aircraft is maintained and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection. Recorded May 2008 using NT4 -> FR2-LE.
