Reminds me of a similar VS B747 fly by at SOU. It had arrived early for a display at what was then RNAS Daedalus (Lee on Solent) Air Day. Offered him delaying action by flying an approach at SOU, with a low approach/go around. He accepted.

Apparently a spectacularly low go around, enjoyed by most airport staff. Result? 56 noise complaints and a question in the House of Commons! Was never chastised for this, just very P****d off as I was stuck in Approach and was the only person on the airport not to see it!
