At the Biggin Hill BoB weekend in 1975 there were two Dutch 104s displaying. On the Monday morning, as we were saying farewell to the visiting aircraft, the Cloggies came out and told us to watch their departure . . . .

They took off as a pair and then, having kept it on the deck heading towards the famous "bump", the no.2, as they were approaching the threshold, rolled over the leader and INTO the dip beyond the runway, before climbing out!!!
