One of the loudest things I heard when visiting the Haxey Feast, was the sound of the engine in this Hawker Hurricane restoration project (the other was the gunshots from the military re-enactors). The engine made a tremendous, almost painfully loud amount of noise, which you can experience to a degree in this YouTube video (I’m also in the background of at least one part of the video too – where the helicopter lands 🙂 ).

The guy who owns the aircraft is hoping to restore it to a complete – although not airworthy – condition so that people can experience what it was like to sit in the cockpit when the engine was powered up.
