Hadn't noticed the "SA" before - thanks! Seen the video a few times though. Lovely revving sound of the powerful Napier Sabre

Yes, the noise of the Sabre engine has been described as "exciting", and you can see why they say that! Sounds more like a racing car engine on steroids, also has something in common with the Lycoming IO-720 flat eight. There used to be a somewhat clearer version of this film on Youtube, but I have been unable to find it of late - this may also have had a superior sound track. David D

Now if you painted up a model with those "invasion" stripes you'd be howled out of IPMS

David D I hope that is an original recording of the Sabre on the soundtrack, since it sounds magnificent! Seems to have a bit of the crackle of a Griffon, the howl of a Lycoming IO-720 and a nice deep bass tone of a 1930s Bentley racing car. I look forward to hearing the Tempest V and Typhoon rebuilds running!

Bruce, I think that the sound of the Tempest's engine in that short film has been added later ("post production"), as I believe it would be impossible to record it cleanly in flight from another (filming) aircraft without the engine noise of the camera aircraft compromising the subject's engine sound. However I have no idea how they could record the superimposed noise in the first place - can anyone offer a plausible explanation? Perhaps they just switched off the engine of the filming aircraft (just joking). David D

There is one and only one recording of a Sabre around that I'm aware of.
It is often sampled and used in other video's.

I have no doubt the soundtrack was added in post production. I was curious as to whether it was an authentic Sabre sound, since it sure sounds great!
