Somewhere East of Leuchars, early 80s, dusk, young Fortissimo in F4, playmate gone home, burning off fuel with some practice whifferdills:

(Buchan) "C/S blah blah, Jetstream, 4 POB, blah..."

YF to trusty nav: "That's near us, isn't it?"

TN: "Yep. (Pause...) Contact 20 right, 5 up, 12 miles..."

YF: "Let's VID..."

Visual, confirms twin type at 4 miles, YF opts to try fun lag-roll thing, lights orange bits at back of F4 and passes inverted 200ft or so over top of Jetstream to impress ME student filth before pushing off to Leuchars.

Buchan: "From the Bandeirante pilot, thanks very much, his passengers enjoyed it!"

TN: "Well it looked like a Jetstream to me..."
