As basic jet students at RAF Linton it was the norm to ring around the squadrons to organise our own flying displays to celebrate graduations.
As it was "in house" there was usually an excellent response....
The graduation before ours got a Buccaneer amongst many others. He came from behind the domestic site (and the expectant crowd) and went between 2 hangars and ATC with about 90 degrees of bank to do it. We all thought ATC was done for, as did the ATC'ers on duty!
The Chief Instructor had to blow the whistle after that. He later told us that he was sat in his office on the first floor, overlooking the airfield at the time. All he saw was the plan view of two helmets in a cockpit filling the view for a split second....and the next thing he was wearing his own coffee, neatly thrown over his desk by his startled secretary who had just walked in carrying a tray!
Another Bucc night stopped at Linton after a birdstrike. On departure it came round for a flyby but went straight over dispersal at about 100 ft at very high speed instead of along the runway as everyone was expecting. The assembled throng all ducked, except for one unlucky JP QFI and his stude walking out for a sortie who never heard or saw it coming. They both hit the deck!
