I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

At the Waddo airshow one year there was a number of visiting units including some FAF Mirage. They were asked if they could display and they agreed.

Now I have no idea if they were an authorised and practiced display but they did a very tight display as a pair.

A pair of heavies made the singleton Tornadoes etc look distinctly tame.

Very true, a front line aircraft beats a trainer any day no matter how 'pretty' the latter is. Of course Simon's circus beat the lot, even 16 Hunters.
