But have you flown the actual track required and got down to the height of 60 feet agl? From my own direct experience, at a mere 140 kts, I know it was no mean feat to get round the corner somewhat faster in a heavily laden Lancaster, whilst in a descent, especially at night.

They stopped us doing it later (something to do with some naughty chaps in a Wessex helicopter dropping black footballs on a Sunday afternoon).

Obviously, you wouldn't have been at 60' in a Tornado..... would you?
