Daily Mail - Complaint regarding the sound of ML407's Merlin

[wildcard]

Just caught this via another thread....

"One person complains about the noise of a Merlin engine disturbing his county side peace to the Suffolk Coastal District Council"

The nerve of some people....  

I'm sorry, but I wasn't even aware of this - or I would have joined the masses and more than voiced my support!!

Mike,
Yes I was aware of the "single person" who complained.....unfortunately these days one has to be sympathetic to anyone who complains.

I am a campanologist and I enjoy waking up the sinners on a Sunday morning...we too suffer these complainers who live near a church with bells....need I say more.

Now if I had a Merlin to wake me up on Sunday morning, quick cup of tea and off to the bell tower !!!!!

I'd love the sound of a Merlin to wake me up every morning!  Bliss! ( for me at least!  )

I've a mate at work who is also a campanologist - but I'll beat you both tomorrow - aiming to be out the door by 5:30am 

Regards,
Mike

Obviously not really well into the senior years as I doubt he would have complained about the RAF/USAAF bombers flying in such numbers they made the ground shake as they left/returned to the UK!

As for the sound of a single Merlin, so rare in the world of today, it's music to so many who endured the war years!


Cheers,

Glad there is so much support for ML 407, keep the Merlin sound alive, a symphony in the air !
