The BAC One-Eleven.

I remember years ago i was flying round as a flight mechanic on an Air Bristol (dry engines with no water inj) machine doing charters for Renault. We landed in Zurich mid-morning and once at the gate were immediately surrounded by yellow vehicles with flashing lights and people wanting to see our noise certificate, C of A etc. I remember myself, the Captain and F/O laughing and saying "Christ, if they think the approach was noisy what are they gonna think when we take-off!"

We lined up and were given T/O clearance when the F/O put his hands on the throttles and stated "Let the show begin".
