This was at St Athan in 1986 and was flown by the then chief test pilot there. It was the custom on the post major servicing delivery flight to give a flypast to the team that worked the aircraft for the preceding 4 months. The gap between the hangars in question was 200ft.
I was there at the time & remember on one occasion a large seagull flying between the hangers as the Phantom passed. Luckily it did not get hit by the aircraft, but the sight of it rapidly rotating in a vortex was quite a sight to see!
