Keith, awesome! I remember driving up to the brow of a hill when one appeared directly in front of me, it nearly gave me palpitations as I instinctively ducked down behind the steering wheel. Something like de Cadenet and the Spitfire.

Hi Dave, had same experience with family on board just east of Penrith many years ago, crossing the brow of a mountain, could almost make out the eyes of the pilot! Family s**t themselves .

On that topic, I'm sure the pilot said " pants check" at 1.22 mins in. No wonder he needed to check them!

That's the one Keith,
also I was at a chalet alongside the Caledonian canal. Every day a jet went past at low level directly over the water. 1st time it scared the s*** out of me. I was facing the wrong way and it was gone by the time I turned my head. After a couple of times I sussed the timing and direction, and waited, nearly broke my neck trying to follow it, awesome!
