I was at Barton in 1996 as a Space cadet doing the usual program selling, and remember the Mosquito coming in low and fast over the 09 end on the other side of the tower before pulling up into a wing over. I looked away but back up a few seconds later as it was nose down 45* in a spin. I could see the vertical vector and instinctively knew there was no way they'd recover from there.

I was stood very close to whoever filmed this


Also saw the last Victor flight at Bruntingthorpe in 2009 - a very close call. if you watch the video carefully it leapt over a concrete plinth.
