I don't recall seeing a Spitfire in flight in the late sixties but I did have "Salute in Sound" (1968?) which had a lot of aircraft sounds and was narrated by Douglas Bader. Sounded good when I later bought a pair of large speakers around 1974. Oddly the real thing wasn't that common then but is a now! Still makes me run outside.
No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)

Doesn't the BBC sound archive contain a lot aircraft recordings from WW2 including the V1 over London? Also I was led to believe that the sound on the track Nightingales and Bombers (Manfred Manns Earthband) was He-111s.
I'll move the aircraft sound components of this thread soon as it would be interesting on it's own.

I'm sure that it's been mentioned before, but as you enter the upstairs rooms of the Control Tower at East Kirkby the sounds of wartime aircraft start to play. These are original recordings of taxiing Lancaster's during the war. At least that's what I seem to remember being told many years ago.
Poor photo, but this is the back cover. It was in Stereo as well! Something I didn't get until 1970.
I only owned four long players by then, Salute in Sound, For Johnny (BBC), and UA Great War Film Themes, and The Battle of Britain music. First Pop LP was Let It Be. Plenty of singles though.
