Hi
I read on another forum that it may have been the Dutch (Duke of Brabants) B25 going to a display at Portrush in N Ireland:ok: :ok:

Must have been on his way home then(or doing a Mark Thatcher)
for it was flying West to East away from Ireland,
looking at the map he was heading more or less straight for the Humber Estury.
Thank you Spit, the sound made by those engines, was to be heard , it was Music to my ears

Those R-2600's cylinders each have a short exhaust stack - no collector ring nicety. If you bum a ride, be sure you bring ear plugs - the internal racket is about 199.9 decibels.
But it's worth it!

Barit 1,
They sounded as though just above tickover, I could almost hear individual cylinders firing
