British Airways 777 - RR powered takeoff to Kingston Jamaica - quality sound.

This video shows the takeoff of the BA2263 service from London Gatwick to Kingston Jamaica.

Sadly due to lack of time I was unable to do my usual coverage of the aircraft on the stand. This flight was flown by aircraft G-YMME which is a Boeing 777-236 powered by Rolls Royce Trent 895 engines.

This flight was fully loaded - not an empty seat for love or money! I was standing near the gate agent desks at the front of the packed gate area and overheard at least 6 lucky people receiving cabin upgrades.

The heay loading is reflected in the engine tone during the take-off and climbout. It was really LOUD. I've flown in RR powered 777s before yet this was a first for me. This engine sound is best enjoyed through headphones.

The sound was superbly captured by an external microphone attached to my Sony NEX-5T camera. The microphone was set to "wide" meaning that it also included a lot of the ambient noise in the cabin. Sadly this camera model overheats and shuts down after around 18 minutes of continuous use so I had to err on the side of caution and could not cover the complete taxi.

Before this flight I was most certainly leaning to preferring the GE- 90 engines over the RR Trents, but I must say the RR Trent 895 sounds really cool in this video.
