   At our house , it was the Lancasters flying over. All the dishes in the   
   cupboard would rattle and vibrate and the TV would do flip flops. I found   
   out later that that was caused by the primitive radar on the Lanc.   
      
   You had ropes!!! Sheeeesh.  I had to go upstairs and hang out my bedroom   
   window , grab the aerial with my bare hands and rotate it while fighting off   
   hurricane force winds. A little more to the left,,,,no no ..too much..back   
   again...you had it right the first time
