Fairford display

I know my memory is sometimes selective and getting worse but did I remember a display at Fairford (in the 80s?) of 7 (I think Canadian) 104s going vertical with full afterburner. Staggering sight and sound.

Hell's teeth, memory fade again, hope somebody can put me right. At the same show 2 104s performing, only one in sight which made a slow pass over the runway and when about halfway down the other 104 appeared going seriously quickly, and on the same course passed underneath. Absolutely breathtaking.

Memory fade or correct?
