Love the Avanti. Saw one heading in a southerly direction over Kidlington a couple of weeks back. They do have a distinct sound, Must be something to do with the props chopping the exhaust stream up..

So not so aesthetic then noisewise. Still would rather be on the inside where I am sure the decibels are acceptable, as well as the cuisine……….:)

How ‘spooky’ is your question Newforest As this Avanti was flying overhead and climbing rapidly, myself and another photographer were discussing the sound and the best description we arrived at was the sound of a large multi cylindered motorcycle accelerating rapidly …. but slightly louder … and constant …. no gear changing !!
