Oldfart 0 Posted September 9, 2013 I live not far from Rolls Royce (Hucknall) and they used to service those planes as there is a grass airstrip attached. Often saw them come in to land as our golf course ran alongside the end of the airstrip so they were very low. Something about the sound of a Merlin engine!!!!
