Sounds of the sixties
In the RAF in the 60's, I used to work with a guy called Johny Stewart, who played guitar in a group called Hedge Hoppers Anonymous and had a top ten hit called "Good News Week"...............he was there when I got the end of my nose chopped off by a Varsity prop. So that sounds of the sixties song certainly brings back memories!

This has been played as part of the "Concorde Experience" at Brooklands; seems to match the simulated sound effects nicely ...
Forgot to mention that it was the first flight of Concorde 001 on 2nd March 1969 - there's the Sixties connection!

Sounds of the 60's
Unless I've missed reading it in an earlier post, four Vulcan B2's,using Rapid Start and leaving the QRA pans in very quick succession at Cottesmore '65 and '66. The noise was awesome, the ground shook and the wildlife scattered!
We all returned to the snooker table in the QRA hut....
Ah! Noisey but happy days!

sounds of the sixties
I used to make regular trips to Aden, staying in the Crescent Hotel. On one occasion, I had just arrived (very hot and sticky) the shower produced only hot water, and the radio was playing 'we gotta get out of this place' by the Who or the Kinks?. Whenever I hear the track played now I'm back in the Crescent!
briani, the song was neither by The Who nor The Kinks - it was by Eric Burdon and the Animals!
Just for you:
From a mere 50 years ago....

Every time that I hear "River deep, mountain high" by Ike and Tina Turner I'm transported back to listening to it on the wireless in the MQ at Gaydon whilst a Lightning F3 was zipping around doing a practice for the next day's BoB day.

If we were talking 50s it'd have to be "you'll never get to heaven in a Vampire jet", but to stretch things a bit let's recall long-forgotten Aden. In '65 I was a rare civvy volunteer on AFBA (Aden Forces Broadcasting Association). Amongst my programmes was one of the pop request productions. My sound engineer (Dave) was a Griffon fitter in his day job, and always insisted I ended the programme with a phoney request for "8 Days a Week".
So my 60s memories are of Khormaksar, my girl friend being chatted up by a Griffon fitter behind the glass screen, and one of the Beatles less memorable songs.
