Supermarine Seafire, June 2010

jhuckle — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:38:27 +0000

I’ve uploaded a new recording of the Kennet Aviation Supermarine Seafire on my field-recording website.

More information available from my field-recording Supermarine Seafire page.

Supermarine Spitfire PR.11 PL965/R

jhuckle — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 12:57:24 +0000

This Merlin engined Spitfire PR.11 PL965 (G-MKXI) turned up at Old Warden at the weekend and did a fantastic display. The sound I recorded starts with the aircraft looping over the field and then a fast flyover right on axis with my mic setup.

Another one of the great aircraft at Hanger 11, North Weald. More information from the Hanger 11 web site.

For a change I took my camera and took a few snaps instead of relying on Wikpedia content.

Supermarine Seafire, 5th July 2009

jhuckle — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:07:12 +0000

Supermarine Seafire sound recorded on 5th July 2009 at Old Warden.

Seafire, Sea Hurricane, Corsair, Wildcat

This is one of my favourite recordings. Completely by suprise a formation of Hawker Sea Hurricane, Supermarine Seafire, Grumman F4F Wildcat and a Vought Corsair flew over as a prelude to a naval themed display at Old Warden, 3rd June 2007.

This recording was taken using minidisc and an AT-822 so dynamics are limited to that hardware, the mp3 version adding a few artifacts.

Supermarine Seafire 3rd June 2007

jhuckle — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:33:04 +0000

A recording of a Supermarine Seafire taken on 3rd June 2007. The aircraft was displaying as a naval group (Sea Hurricane, Corsair, Wildcat) at Old Warden.

Recorded using a minidisc and an AT-822. The mp3 version doesn’t do the recording justice (despite high VBR bitrate) unfortunately. If you’d like copy of the original uncompressed version then let me know.

Supermarine Spitfire MK XVI

jhuckle — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:46:48 +0000

This Spitfire MK XVIE CBAF.IX.4262 (G-OXVI) was recorded in 2008 at the Little Gransden Airshow, UK. Not too sure about these later mark Spitifires but a little research would indicate this a Packard built Rolls-Royce Merlin. If anyone can confirm this, I’d appreciate it. This aircraft is operated by Spitfire Ltd.

There’s quite a bit of crowd noise on this recording so I’ve made an edit of the best bits. Sometimes crowd noise adds to the sound – not always.

Supermarine Seafire take off

jhuckle — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 14:06:16 +0000

This is Supermarine Seafire F XVII SX 336 taking off from a grass runway. This recording was made at Old Warden Aerodrome, UK, where the aircraft was a ‘visitor’.

The sound and the image are of the same aircraft – the image is via Wikipedia, the sound via a AT822->HiMD.
