The way we did it with the Lanc was to set up a holding pattern a fair bit down range. One I was thinking of was using the flood barrier prior to advancing on the pool of London where SWMBO was waiting to announce the price of the Rolls Royce shares. I had to be level with her and she was in the Hayes Wharf building. This demanded a rather low pass (actually a little lower than the Belfast's masts) I also had to pull up a little to safely clear London Bridge. I must point out that this was what she had demanded and none of our VSOs argued! It was fun though. I dont suppose it could happen today.
