Two warbirds flew over my house about 30 minutes apart. TBM Avenger and an AT-6. Could hear 'em coming a mile away.

Almost something similar. A flying boat went overhead and now I'm trying to recognize it. Pusher type. Loved watching and hearing it!

Started to watch (finally!) the BBC production from 1988 "Piece of Cake".
My wife startled me when she asked why one of the Spits was holding
left rudder on take off! Something must have rubbed off on her over the last
25 years.

Lockheed Harpoon or Ventura(?), not sure, flew over. One thing for sure, the sound of those two 2,000-hp P&Ws.
