Epic Hawker Hunter Blue Note

Jonathan Whaley in 'Miss Demeanour' at Duxford, October 2013. Wow!

That was a beauty, its rare to hear MissD do such a good one.

I was tapping 580kts at the last lookin, so must have been up to 600kts when I levelled out. Pressure wasn't very low that day, so Mach number not so impressive as it might have been if it was like today's 998mb ! Thanks everyone who pointed me to this post. Jonathon

of the most beautiful, classic jet fighters !

Makes it sound like you're about to be eaten by a monster, what an epic sound.

[Weihrauch]

THE best Hunter flyby. What a phenomenal blue note!

look like it was about to break the sound barrier

The way it accelerated at 0:02 . Great clip 👍

Thanks for capturing it! The whole display was great and the paint scheme really stood out among the sky!

I was about 13 walking along a path on portland bill...when 1 of these screamed over head...that sound 35 years later is awesome 👏

Great capture of that classic jet sound!

They used to spin these inverted at Boscombe Down

That sound is straight out of godzilla 2014

That, ladies and gentlemen, is why I'm a pilot in training.

No idea how to reply to comments anymore...
but thank you Jonathon for an interesting insight. And for flying her so well! :)

who else sees the sound barrier around when it levels out?

It is actually painful to listen to and actually hurts your chest
