Sydney Harbour Bridge

My father in 1948 flew a Beaufighter under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The flight went from Richmond Air Force Base along the Parramatta River, under the bridge then along the harbour to Manly, where he circled the Hospital (all trying to impress his future wife - my mother).

Today if you did that they would have scrambled a couple of F18's and shot you down.
