I was walking along the road near the 03 end at Biggin Hill during the airshow many years ago - ahead of me a woman had stopped to peer at something through the fence when a Tornado arrived from behind her, very low and at quite some speed,only marginally behind its own noise. I was most impressed by the height she attained from a standing start; she nearly head-butted the cause of her shock.
