RAFENG, perhaps THE most memorial last flight I witnessed was carried out by a pilot who overflew the groundcrew soft/HPS at the northern has site leu 86-88ish.
Nothing remarkable you might think, but the rest of the days sorties had been cancelled due to the low cloudbase/clag setteling in, nothing new there you also might think, but the aircraft landed with a number of us pneumatic flight instruments and we all felt rather than heard the shock wave as it just cleared the top of the hps in the clag, going like the hounds of hell were at it's jet pipes!

The pilot was always a true gent to us groundcrew, he was of asian origin.
