A couple of years ago an RAF VC10 took off from Manch, on 06. He turned right 180 degress after take off, and commenced a climb downwind eventually passing quite close to chez SSD, the four Conways ripping the summer afternoon air to the tune of what seemd like several hundred decibels.

I'd forgotten just how noisy 1960s airliners used to be.
