Going back into the nostalgia element I remember the C133s which were also very noisy being regular users of was it Green One or Red 1 airway (or a combination) that ran east to west across southern England. Another sight if not sound from those days was the double deck C124 Globemasters which looked like an aluminium wall floating in space when the sun caught them, they were incredibly slow and must have been torture on an Atlantic crossing
C133s were used to transport new Harriers to the USMC after picking them up at Dunsfold; they would have climbed out onto Green 1 or Red 1.
