Barton Airshow NW UK circa 1992

I was on a press pass collecting TV pictures for whoever wanted to buy them.
I stood airside within tens of metres from a low level Harrier hover/look how many ways I can pitch the aircraft from a hover position.
Next I was sprayed with dry grass as Gary Numan taxied past in whichever WWII Japanese single prop he was using that day (he intentionally sprayed into us, I swear)
The day was completed by being given access to the tower terrace and filming the Vulcan droning and banking past at something near to our level.

Magic
