I think I may have found a shot of the Vulcan at the passing out parade -

Seen in the "Low flying a fascinating read and multitude of images" post elsewhere in this section.

I have just pulled the Low Level Vulcan from the Photo Album, there are no stamps on the back Officicial or Otherwise, so I cannot elaborate any further as to the Location.
My Swinderby Flypast was IIRC a pair of Jaguars above (or in cloud) invisible to the ground,
but bang on time.

And regarding all French air Force low flying with on board portable cameras that we can "admire" on various YouTube video, they were ban (the cameras) from cockpits.
Exception given to the jet fighters on alert for interceptions/identifications.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't know if it has been posted before, but the Israelis seem to jail their aircrew for "horsing around".

Note the control surface positions:
Someone was rather keen to enter a climb, it would appear!
If anyone has a photo of XL319 'saying goodbye' to RAF Honington static display on 17 June 1978, I would be intrigued to see it.
The Rad Alt showed 80ft, if I recall correctly
We were doing 350KIAS at the time

Re the F-15. http://cencio4.files.wordpress.com/2...ce-low-rez.jpg
Something not quite right about the sequence of photographs. First, look at the positions of the control surfaces in each picture. Second, considerable pitch up as the Eagle goes through rolling inverted without associated stab movement. Third, aircraft is heading progressively further away from the camera, yet appears more head-on in the final picture that in the preceeding one, or indeed the first one.
The F-15 is inherantly departure-resistant (without the wing tanks), but low, slow, heavy aeros are a bit gamey.

From the article about the Israeli chaps rolling after take off:
I thought a 'Tel Nof' was the usual sanction for such activities...
a pilot and a navigator of the 106 Sqn of the Israeli Air Force, based at Tel Nof, were sent to prison for 7 days and suspended from flight activities for one year
