Thumbs up How low can you go?

I remember seeing a piece of film on BBC (Nationwide?) back in the 1980's. It came from a SAM site, trying to track a pair of Buccaneers. The gunners comments were quite enlightning, as they couldn't lock up the Bucc's.

There's also a picture around of a Bucc with a bent nose radome. the story being that it had been climbing to avoid a power line and hit it. The line was alleged to be 30 feet high.....


Maybe someone else out there knows a bit more about these two stories?

There's also tales of RAF jets leaving trails in the desert as well.....
