Can't remember if I've posted this somewhere else or not. Anyway, Dec 1961, deployed at El Adem, just completed exercise with the army, and they asked for a flypast over their camp.

10 Hunters climbed to a long way up, and peeled off in turn to aim 10 sonic booms at the camp.

On landing at El Adem, signal received from the Colonel said something like, "Thanks very much for the excellent demo. We needed to take the tents down anyway."
