Of course, those lucky enough to have served at MPA will have witnessed a number of "flypasts".
Those in the know will be aware of Exercise Fiery Cross. Although there were set limitations on speed and MSD, they were rarely abided by. The competition between the fighter crews and the Rapier crews to prove who was "the most competent" was extremely important. On one of these exercises the OC was flying in the RCP with a young, and keen to impress, 1st tourist pilot. Unfortunately, over exuberance got the better. Full AB in the Tornado F3 at low level made it go very fast!! Overflight of the Fire Section at "about" 100 feet and at very high speed caused the roof to fail.
I believe that the OC may have received a stern talking to, as did the pilot, but no one lost their jobs over this unfortunate incident!!
