Bristol Freighter Airplane Historic Aviation Journey

[pobinr]

I used to see & hear these planes come & go from Southampton Airport as a child in the 60's. I searched for vids as I thought I'd like to hear the sound that would remind me of those distant times. What do I get ?

Cheesy music !!!!!!!!!!!

Un****ing believable. How crass !

[CaptBubble]

Lovely! Is it staying in UK? Where?

[SeafireUK]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this video dates from the mid-90's and this aircraft has since been written off in a take-off accident at Enstone in Oxfordshire. Going from memory it arrived back in the UK in '94 and was written off in '96. :o(

[SeafireUK]

Just thought I'd add that everyone walked away from the accident, which is the most important thing really!

Centaurus or Hercules?? I think the Freighter was Hercules powered.

[Milehighmovieguy]

Hercules it is!

[DARANGULAFILM]

Do you have long ambieces of the engines in flight at various power settings? I have been working, albeit some time back now on replicating from Freighter audio Disney's gave me access to, in-flight audio for Beaufighter which has three blade prop. Unfortunately there was little usable as the only audio was the mix-down effects track with other effects.

[Milehighmovieguy]

hours of it.

Thats funny, I never thought a Disney sound technician would have ever been overly concerned to that level about the sound effects cause quite often it is horrobly wrong on most movies. But kudos for thinking so on acuracy, hope that movie worked out well :)

[NickSayle]

My favorite plane! not the most comfortable when used by the RNZAF though

[Milehighmovieguy]

I unfortunately never got to fly in one. I have over the course of making this DVD and the other two to come have started to find the plane a well designed and thought out machine. A great plane for her day.

[Milehighmovieguy]

Part of it is Yes. There will be more details on this and the silver Bristol in the "Bristol at work" DVD coming out later this year.

the other bristol freighter with the red fin at the start of the vid looks like it has the same paint scheme as the ones that SAFE AIR in new zealand used to have, it doesnt hapen to be an ex SAFE AIR one does it??? i think they were last operated in nz in the 80's maybe even the early 90's.

[transtar2000]

Wanker you ruined the sound of the bristol centuris with dumb music

[Milehighmovieguy]

Well the video is in post production right now. If you want to hear the engines there is over an hours worth. Then, in a few months there will be another video about the bristol comming. So there will be lots of chances to listen to those engines..
