Britannia phase-sync

Any Britannia pilots out there ?

I have been told that one of the chracteristics of the Britannia turboprop sound was due to the engines seldom staying in phase-sync long however hard the FE tried- so you would get that slow beat as the sound faded in and out - you always knew it was a Britannia in the distance due to that slow beat.
