The whole recording of Nightingale and RAF bombers can be heard on the excellent Nightingales:A Celebration CD issued by the BTO a few years ago. Recorded [illegally because of censorship] by the BBC in Surrey in May 1942 one can hear a nightingale singing merrily away to itself amid the din of Lancaster and Wellington bombers passing overhead on their way to a raid over Germany. To me it remains one of the most amazing recordings of birdsong ever made, a real war and peace scenario. I presume Manfred Manns Earth Band used a part of the same recording on a track of theirs.Si.</blockquote>
