This is another one of those signature sounds that you cannot get in any sound library today.

If you've heard this sound in other films, by all means add it to the comments and I'll update the listing.
Pretty much all of this montage can be heard at the end of 'Thunderbird 6', when the crashed Skyship 1 falls from it's perch on a radar mast about 1000 feet on to a missile base below. The film is worth watching for this sequence alone. You cannot scale flame, and so, the miniature pyrotechnic work here isn't that miniature. I wouldn't have liked to be close when it was done. Some of the models would have been about 6 feet high. Think of that when you see it.
