I have to say that the Fishheads organised an absolutely cracking pi$$up........
They also organised a fantastic fly past (beat up) of the Flight Refuelling Ltd, Wimborne factory to thank them. After a sedate fly past of Sea Vixens and Phantoms they came back individually going very fast and extremely low. I swear I was looking down on some of them as they crossed the river bridge. I suspect that they made such a spectacular job to rub in the fact that the RAF had missed the factory by a long way on a previous occasion that year.
