How low is low ?

Quiet weekend in Leeming tower in the late '60s (then open 24/7 as a Master Airfield). Belgian pair (F104s) doing display somewhere up North (Sunderland Air Show ?), came in to us to refuel before starting back.

Could they do a low run past Tower after take off ? - Certainment !

They went into a/b for the low run. Leader was low, but No.2 left a long scorch trail on our (quite short) grass.

I've never seen anything so low. They were probably one of the pairs already mentioned. (Come to think of it, they used to drive like that as well over there then).
