Vulcan, Joe L'Estrange. didn't so much fly it as make it dance. Hard to explain, but I suspect DD knows what I mean

Spit, Ray Hanna's arrival beat up at Biggin the evening before the BoB 60th annversary show in 2000.

RNeth AF F-27 "Boy" Soons (actually in his mid-fifties)

F-5G Tigershark (Later F-20) Chuck Yeager beating the **** out of the main drag at Las Vegas during some Air Force Assc convention. Stopped the traffic and emptied the casinos.

Harrier our very own John Farley, Hoof Proudfoot was also pretty good in it as the display pilot back in about 1973-4.

Buccaneer, RAF mate called John something, later went to the reds then flying hunters for Flght refuelling-- Broadbent(??)
