Remember two smoking Starfighters streaking over Binbrook at 08.30 one exercise morning being hotly persued by two Lightnings.All at about 200 feet and about 500 knots.Super!

I watched it from the mound but from there it looked more like a fast run in en then break for landing.
It wasn't looking that impressive compared to other base attacks i have seen.
Most spectacular thing was the breakchute malfunctioning after landing, it came loose immediately after deployment.
