Many years ago,I was accused of leading a pair of Phantoms at low level over a riding stable causing a horse to bolt with 2 young girls thrown out of the cart attached to said horse, resulting in one broken arm. We were there but descending into low level, well throttled back and at at least 1500ft in the descent . The RAF police, bless them, unearthed the truth by the age old technique of buying some beer in the local pub. The girls had indeed been thrown out of the cart, having lost control at least 2mins before we appeared, the one with the broken arm was filmed shovelling horse manure. I believe that later the stable owners were taken to court for false claims by their insurance company.
