"Scariest I ever saw was at Biggin in the early 70's. A couple of Belgian (or was it Dutch?) air force Starfighters doing very low opposition passes right along the crowd line".

The Belgian 'Slivers'. I saw them at Alconbury in 1976 or 1977. Absolutely terrifying! What would I give to see that sort of display again!

There's an excellent site about the Slivers here:. .<a href="http://home.planet.nl/~harrylui/slivers/" target="_blank">http://home.planet.nl/~harrylui/slivers/</a>

Features diagrams of the display routine (opposed barrel rolls? In an F104?) and photos.
