Jogged my memory there Beags; I don't recall a Canberra doing a PD just after they landed but I do remember a Puma helicopter doing one soon after. I thought at the time it must have had some clandestine reason because we didn't normally accept PDs during the 2 weeks of Farnborough Airshow but in this case I was told it was 'an exception'.
Edit to add:
I've remembered the Canberra now. Whereas the Puma did a PAR and go around at DH (150 ft for a heli in those days which he maintained for most of the runway before climbing away) the Canberra didn't make an approach, just a single pass at circuit height along the line of the runway.
