It must have been either Joe L'Estrange or Jon Tye in the mighty 301 engined, low fuel load Avro Dragmaster B2 during the display season.

Joe, he of the theory that "it climbs faster than it turns". 4 ship scramble, at Waddo, me stood on the ladder with Martin W*****s in the LHS, Joe who was in "finger1" and leading the show had the unerving habit of rotating at about 80 kts or so and then wa****g on loads of left or right hand down whilst climbing away. Looked good from the crowds perspective though.
