Sound is also in the song "Sky Pilot" by The Animals, then fades into bagpipes.

The sound can also briefly be heard in "Magnificent Men" as one of the Edwardian types begins to either force land or ditch in the English Channel!

Excellent! And beautiful... Where abouts is that and has it flown?

Very nice to meet you today!

This is one of a couple of replicas built by a gentleman called Julian Aubert. This one has not flown, but there is another type that he has (briefly) taken up into the air. You can find this Demoiselle at The Brooklands Museum. I don't know if they still run it, this photo is from 1999.

Same here!

Oh blimey, I've been to Brooklands, I must have seen it I guess - can't remember it though. I pass by on the train regularly, I must go and take another look.

Ta!
