Eastborne Airshow - Red Arrows one third through a cloud imposed low show when a single engine private plane chugs round Beachy Head and heads into nine bright lights coming at him at 500ft. Well done to the lead Arrow who neatly avoided him , took the other eight over the top and gave the private pilot every reason to change his trousers.
Guess that there's no radar cover beside Beachy Head, so no-one knew what was coming.
A bit like the scene from Tora Tora Tora where the lady pilot is suddenly surrounded by Zeros.
Quick thinking, Spike.
