STF were asked to carry out a memorial fly past at Compton Abbas for Chris "Flipflop" and duly obtained low level clearance from Salisbury Plain. The approach was from the west and the airfield is perched on top of the scarp. The small party of guests were at the foot of the tower and unaware of the imminent arrival of three Hercs at low level which can be 50ft over the threshold. The tower was quite impressed and the lady controller used some non standard RT phrases as we appeared over the lip of the scarp in 15 second trail. I think we gave Chris a good send off though.
