Oops the link doesn't work.
This is about the eBay UK Mellotron sound effects catalogue (1960s)
Item # 2533722338
Description:
"Here's something extremely unusual - in the early '60s, before the
Mellotron became famous as a musical instrument, it was used
primarily as a sound effects machine in film and television studios.
(As you've got this far you probably know what a Mellotron is, so I
won't go into details.) This book was used to facilitate the location
of the required sound effect (there was a different sound on each of
the 3 tracks of each of the 70 keys of each of the 6 channels, so it
was very necessary.
This particular book was used by BBC television in London. It has
seen a lot of practical use, and the condition reflects this. It is a
little battered and dog-eared, but it is complete. In addition there
are coffee-mug stains and the hand-written address of the BBC
maintenance department (often needed, no doubt) on the front
cardboard cover.
This is a very rare item, and although it is of limited practical use
(unless you own a sound effects machine, of course) it would be a
fascinating addition to a collection of Mellotron memorabilia."

This is the catologue of sound F/X and their location on the F/X console. I recieved two of these "lists" when I purchased mine. THe WW II sound effects are really interesting and include sounds of a V2 rocket explosion recorded during the war.
Also one of the F/X sounds are the starting of a car. You depress the next key and the car shifts into first gear-press the next key and the car shifts into second gear. The following key is the car shifting into high Gear and then cruising.

So, is the beginning of Roxy's 'Love is the Drug' 'Tron sound FX, as

Are any of the combat sounds from the Animals' "Sky Pilot" Mellotron FX sounds? I figured the song is from that time period and locale.
