The sound of the Alvis Leonides engines is unique. The merit of these clips, among many others, is that one can experience aircraft designed many decades ago and that a very few can presently enjoy. Thanks!
One of those landed on our school rugger pitch. No big deal came in on the diagonal , hour or two later same route fired up & took off STOL in action, only 2 crew so light all up weight. Think they had lunch then flew off again.. Another world so much simpler.
