Not quite a fly past but certainly left its mark. Way back in 1976 a Vulcan staged through Masirah (OOMA) on its way to Mauritius for their independence day celebrations. On its arrival it was met by the station medics fully kitted out in suits, masks etc. The crew were confronted by one of the biggest hyperdermic needles I have ever seen as part of the medical arrangements for any visitor to the desert isle as they came down the aircraft ladder. This was of course the infamous Masirah `Rubber Dick/Latex Richard practical joke being played out.
After a couple of days the aircraft was ready to depart and in response to all the ribbing of the crew being carried out in the officers mess the crew duly returned the gesture by making a low pass over the `encampment of tin huts` ie RAF Masirah, stood the aircraft on its tail in the area of the officers mess and climbed skyward resulting in a fair few ceiling panels, dust and sand being `realined` in said officers mess......
I would tell you about the last Belfast fly past at Masirah but it would take toooo long
