Did anyone see Flt Lt Alan Pollock of I Squadron fly his Hawker Hunter under Tower Bridge on April 5 1968 to mark the 50th anniversary of the RAF? He had apparently dropped toilet roll "bombs" on the bases of rival squadrons, flew under the top span of the bridge and then went on to beat up a few more bases.

Nice report on this ultimate fly-by at this Hunter site:
