As for the F4 fly-by / head chopper, saw it a few years back when living at Bentley Priory, somewhere in the archive at Flight Safety. Remember that the pilot came in low over Whittle Hall, got lower then screamed across the parade ground, no doubt the cameraman in the first floor window on the East side of the parade ground filled his trousers at the sight of the belly of an F4 at very close quarters.

Have trawled You Tube thinking it might be on there by no but no luck. Don't suppose you want to put up a copy on Barrow Boy?
The german F4 display seems to give the same impression though, about the same height (if the grey matter still works). Spectacular - yes, no flying hats though.

PS, that's also the reason, I believe, why the flypasts are now behind the clock tower and not over the parade ground.
