Just been reminded how noisy the Dauphin is when it's heading towards you - you can hear it for miles but once past it's quiet... could hear that one from at least 15 miles away...

Edit: didn't hear him for quite so long on his return, but there was a hill in the way! Conversely, the delightful DH-90 Dragonfly that followed him out of Biggin Hill and passed about a mile south of me wasn't nearly noisy enough - I love the sound of Gipsy Majors in the morning!
