another spectator observed that the Sea Fury's Centaurus sounds very similar ("like a bag of bolts" was the expression used)
I remember the Aer Turas C54 that used to be a regular visitor to Cambridge when I was there at flying school. That description sums up well the sound of that machine taxying. A total contrast to take-off and the music of 4 Twin Wasps in close formation.

Regarding the wonderful Griffon, though, my money is on CirrusF‘s suggestion.
