Wonder if the pilot was a descendant of Henry VIII PMSL

Mental! Could only have been at 10 feet before he pulled up

I have heard many RAF and AAC boys speak of a particular brand of mentalist known as a "Jaguar pilot"... See the following to know why they are heralded as the nutters of the skies

Now, that's pretty impressive even before you take into account the ground effects. But when you realise that at THAT speed, at THAT altitude the pilot would have had his stick about as far forwards as he could push it, just to keep on the level... MAD!

There are allegedly videos on the net of Jaguars clipping the roofs of cars on low passes, but I haven't found one yet.

We did Alexis Park Inn web site to death recently ... Must admit to having downloaded virtually the whole bunch of vids.

Did you catch the Radio Controlled vids?
B-52 Test Flight -- The R/C Version in Somerset of course !
and sadly B-52 Crash -- The R/C Version ... time for some cider !
That is when the erstwhile pilot needs to be wearing a nappy ... all that time and dosh ........probably about to exit in a 'puff of greasy black smoke' !
