When did that happen ?
It didn't.
Might you be confusing:
a) The Kawasaki C-1 (which
AFAIK has never been seen in the UK) with the much larger, 40 years later, Kawasaki C-2 ?
b) Farnborough with Fairford ?
Both the C-2 and C-390 were at RIAT in 2018 and again in 2022. They were indeed parked next to each other this year, but I don't think either suffered unduly from the comparison.
