My ringside seat for a 757 low flyby today

Me and dad flying south down the Aberdeenshire coast, got clearance thru Aberdeen airspace then just before entering the clearance was cancelled, as "someone" taking off from Aberdeen with a 757 wanted to fly low along the coast over a certain golf course, hmmm I wonder who that could be? a flash bastard with his own N reg 757, with a desire for a close up view of a golf course just north of the city.. its got me trumped, I mean stumped !

I circled for 5 minutes then watched the big Boeing drop down and fly along the beach at about 900ft MSL. Impressive
