We were waiting for it to return, it did, from between the two hangers we were standing between. Everyone hit the floor! It was never below 500 feet the pilot said! I think he might have been fibbing a bit. However I wouldn't have missed it for anything. My last little memoir is on the North Yorkshire Moor Railway. I was having a peep outside when a Buck flew past inverted! Yes, inverted! If you ever fancy seeing what this beast is capable of I'm sure online there is the film of one of them at Red Flag flying that low that it's kicking up dust!
Ah, the fabled red flag film. I'm hoping that one day it will appear.
