I'll bet they sound great. Ever gone to see them fly?

Years ago saw a Sopwith Snipe flying at an airshow. It later had a mishap at another airshow and was retired to the Canadian Aviation Museum.
It was quite the airshow with a Spitfire doing a low level pass. Looked like it was cutting the grass. The Golden Hawks made an entrance by coming over the cliff one at a time. Scared the crowd as they couldn't see or hear them coming.
