twothree,

Was in Leeming Tower one Saturday afternoon some 40+ years ago. A pair of Belgian F-104s, which had positioned and refuelled with us prior to doing their display at an airshow, did a low run for us on their way home.

They went into reheat as they shot past well below me. We went out after they'd gone and had a look.

There were scorch marks for 100 yds along the (short) grass !
