I also heard a vicious rumour that the formation was temporarily 'navigationally challenged' and managed to narrowly miss the airfield and waiting parade. I'm told that some of the local farmers got a fantastic flypast though. Wonder how the debrief on that one went?
Sounds familiar. Remember waiting outside sqn at Colt in early 90s for the Phantom Phinal Phling - they missed by miles Also remember very impressive BofB cocktail party flypast at Wyton by Canberras and Nimrod - I was the only one who saw it as I skulked at the end of the Mess waiting for the free beer to begin.

As much as I'd love to see AD mates pork it, I somehow just can't bring myself to register on a fighter control forum.

Flyround!
Having witnessed both the 11 Sqn and the 29 Sqn 'flypasts!!!' its hard to determine who was actually furthest from the target. Thankfully the Hurricane with his Hi-Tech map and compass managed to hit it right on the head on the Thursday night, Good to see
That'll just about cover the fly-bys!
Well, it is what we do after all. Mud moving's easy though isn't it?
As for the dress. Think I'll skip it!
You liked Freddie though didn't you!
