I can remember being overflown by the prototype when I was a little kiddy - we were visiting friends of my Dad's down on the
South Coast.

Nick mentioned one problem factor which I think would be significant; the sound of 4 transonic jets whizzing around at meninge RRPM had to be heard to be believed. Normal conversation outdoors was certainly not possible while that beaut was in the overhead.
