Excellent response so far, guys. Thanks. Keep them coming. Beeayeate's atmospheric piccy reminds me (always been a civvy) of a time many moons ago when I was completing a task in a sand and gravel quarry in deepest Dorset, where I was living at the time.
The quarry was in a low-flying zone, and on the day, I was working on top of a tower, about 60 feet from the ground. I happened to turn round to be confronted by a Canberra which had the exact appearance with regards to heading and height relative to me as the one in B8's piccy (sans sunshade & u/c, of course.)
It proceeded to hurtle past, just in front of its own noise, which was quite something when it arrived!
As a life long aero-nut, the location of the job for me was a joy and delight. During the time I was there, I think most types that were in service at the time came wafting past from time to time, even big stuff.
