Saw pair of Dutch 104s attempt a formation take-off with full afterburner at RAF Leeming after they had diverted there back in the seventies.
The leader got airbourne demonsrating a sensational rate of climb. His no.2 sat on the piano keys blowing massive amounts of smoke until he shut the beast down exited the aircraft and proceeded to take f****** large fast steps across the grass.
I reckon he could have won a medal at the Olympics.
