RAFG Low Level "Last Flights"

Who remembers the RAFG tradition of ultra low level "last flights" over the parent sqn HAS site by pilots leaving the sqn or the RAF - everyone rushing outside to stand on a revetment to make the aircraft seem even lower ?

Seeing a Buccaneer below the level of the top of a Bloodhound radar (on stilts) and a Phantom below the top of the stadium lights at Akrotiri was just fantastic.

Here's a more recent clip of a "last flight" by a Gerrman AF pilot in a F-4F.
