Bt,what sound files are you using?.
I've a pretty decent Conway sound file.
If you'd lik to try it PM me you e-mail and I'll try to
send it to you.
Alternatively there's a Conway sound file from HJG at Otter's
Classic British files,but I'm not sure what it's like.

If it's a Victor Mk.1 it's not Conways
It's saphires
much noisier as I recall

Where can I get those sounds Garry?

I don't know if you can but the Sapphire I think was a turbo jet wher as the Conways a turbo fan.
So perhaps the Olympus would be a better match than the Conway.
You could do a search and something might come up
Avons are perhaps another alternate

Spot on Garry.I'd completely forgotten that fact
,and I'm
supposed to be an aviation buff
.
Well BT,I've also got a pretty good early turbo-jet sound file.
I think I got it from simviation.I'll have a squint for it, but if I can't find and link it for you,then you know the routine and I'll send it to you.

Here's a rough idea of Sapphire sound BT.

Click the link and on the left you'll see "Javelin sounds".
Read the text and then listen to 'em.
Here's the link to those turbo-jet sounds.

Hi Mark
What is almost impossible to understand now is that at the time of their launch the likes of the Spey and Conway were consider quiet compared to what they replaced.
I think the improvement was the ears ached instead of bled, but the Spey and Conway were what was then callleed by pass jets now known as turbofans rather than the earlier turbojets.
They were full of wonderment then of the new types of jets that were a lot more efficient and as a bonus quieter.

Hi Garry.
Yeh,I know what you mean.I think their by-pass ratio's were only
around 4:1,still loads of whistle and hiss
.
These modern fans have more in common
with a turbo-prop or ducted-fan.
I can remember Caravelles going over from MIA(Ringway!!) back when I was nipper in the '60(we've always lived in or around Congleton-under the old flight path) and the racket from them was appalling even when they were at around 15,000'.

That is possibly the most eerie and haunting sound I've heard in a long time. Its like a cross between a horror movie dramatic chord and a 60's B-movie flying saucer.
