Since my last post, I'd unearthed my copy of the book "Whispering Death" by Neville Parnell - Even autographed by 20 surviving members of 30 Sqn, the author and 'Blackjack' Walker.
Griffo and I must have been at the same Richmond airshow because I remember exclaiming the 'kiddy' equivalent of "What the F... was that?"
I gather a few Japs had been equally surprised some years earlier
