BOAC 322 is Polly's. The oldest Dutch Squadron, now on F16s
Is this the display you referred to?
Looks a bit higher than I remember from Volkel.

Bob Hoover's displays were quite a sight as well, especially with the glass of water balanced atop the panel; not really low passes though

edited to add. I used to attend the annual Airshow at Sannicole in Belgium but stopped after a Mirage crashed doing a display with about a 200 foot ceiling. The crowd line was along the edge of a grass runway and it was a bit off putting when a B52 did a low pass with 2 engines over the crowd. Similarly, the Harrier, "bowing" at the end of his display and sending a couple of frite tents flying
