I used to live near Chatham but I moved there just after the Navy moved out. I then moved to near Helston just as the Navy decided to stop doing air displays at Culdrose. They hate me :-)

I went to world superbikes at brands hatch one year, where they had a tornado and harrier display. The harrier just hovered above us, it was deafening, we could not hear what each other were saying. A few years before that I went to a Royal Navy opening day at the Chatham naval docks and standing on a deck of a frigate and a harrier was just hovering between two frigates and again was deafening, always liked the harrier :).

The sound that remained with me was the Mercedes engines 109s with that whistle it made. Another sound I remember is a formation of harriers taking off vertically at Farnborough It made the Vulcan sound quiet!
