Filmed by Henry Tenby. I forgot my tripod attachment clasp today so this clip is hand held. The sounds of the Darts winding up compensates for the lack of tripod on this session.

Seen here is a very rare Convair 640 (powered by Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops) flying with Viking. N860FW (cn 10) also flew with Kitty Hawk & Worldways Canada. Shot by Craig Pilkington.

Awesome (Albeit, short) promo film for the XF-92A.

Nothing beats the sound of two Rolls Royce Dart engines. Here we have a JAC YS-11 seen taxiing onto stand at Kagoshima before the type was retired from service on September, 30, 2006. Ear plugs required.

A JSDF AWACS YS-11 sports radome bulges in this footage which shows the aircraft departing for a recon flight. Looks like the engines have been upgraded from the original Rolls Royce Dart engine configuration.

This is a 1950s newsreel on the Sanders Roe SR A/1 and Convair Sea Dart water jets. The Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 was a prototype fighter aircraft tested by the Royal Air Force shortly after World War II. The first prototype flew on July 15, 1947, and while it and its two sisters proved to have good performance and handling, the need for such aircraft had completely evaporated with the end of the war. Furthermore, the success of the aircraft carrier in the Pacific had demonstrated a far more effective way to project airpower over the oceans. In addition, the cockpit canopy was small and heavily framed, giving the pilot a poor view outside the aircraft. The project was finally abandoned in May 1951.

Fabulous sound of Rolls Royce Darts winding up on this YS-11. Videographer not known unfortunately. 引退直前のある日の空港にて YS11エンジンスタート＆スポットアウト engine start
