Don't forget those wonderfully noisy Spantax Coronados!

That VC10 pic takes me right back. BOAC Cunard - what a wonderfully gracefull aeroplane, if a tad loud with four Speys! But strangely, the 1-11s with half as many Speys seemed louder. Maybe becuase they hung around longer.

On a CONGA departre you could still hear them at the 06 end several minutes after they'd taken off.
