TorqueOfTheDevil, I was the hindmost of four aircraft on the downwind leg of a very crowded circuit at Scone in the summer of 1972 when two Phantoms went straight across the 150 in front of mine at precisely the circuit height of 1000'. Air Traffic had no warning of it whatsoever - I asked them upon landing. I can still see a freeze-frame image of it as I sit here almost forty years later. A schoolfriend of mine was a Phantom backseater at Leuchars at the time; his comment was that they shouldn't have been there but that they probably didn't even notice.
