I have recently been contacted by a guy named Paul Weir who works at a company called Earcom.
One of their clients has the need for some samples of Gas Turbines and he wondered if we provide him some engines that he could record/ sample. Of course I was interested so we arranged a meet at the top secret air base near where I live. On the day there were three sound engineers required and Ian Bennett also made a trip up to Shropshire along with his Solar T62 engine which he run and provided even more data for the Earcom crew. Unfortunately I cannot at this moment say what the samples are for, but hopefully next year I may be able to divulge some more information about this interesting little project.
Watch this space.

Doogle Dogs were out in droves.		The Mic's were set at various angles to obtain as much variety of sounds as possible.
A cold but sunny day, little wind and sun!		Ian running up his Solar T62 for a recording session. He was able to provide the crew with various speeds using the electronic speed controller that he manufactured.
A smug looking Ian.		What you see from the rear view mirror.
Paul Weir configuring one of the microphones.		Time for a quick pose with the HiJet Jet.
Another catalog poser.		Thirsty them jet engines.
A distant relative of Ian's.		We decided to give the sound people a flyby recording, but with no throttle linkage yet fitted to the cab, someone would have to control it as we were tootling along. Ian volunteered and I drove. A bit of a laugh and it was safe honest..
