>Back in the USSR, sounds like a Viscount to me.<

When I was young and learning to play the piano, I was intrigued to find that the Viscount and Vanguard could be easily distinguished by their different harmony. An overflying Viscount generated a descending major triad, which sounded happy and bright. A Vanguard produced a descending tritone, which always sounded mournful and unresolved.

The aircraft on 'Back in the USSR' generates major harmony but it doesn't sound in the right key for a Viscount, at least to my ears. Possibly the track was varispeeded.
