That's right, 543 Sqn. There was a rumour that the pilot (OC Sqn?) was not best pleased that day with the media attention and was determined to "put on a show". Remember seeing it fall out of the luft over a farm just outside the boundry. Loads of blokes watching, and all with one thought "He's not going to make it!". As I recall, the "Thunderbirds" were starting the motors of their appliances before it hit the deck! I know Crash One was rolling towards the crash gate.
