as very few people know i have a scary and a bit sad intrest in flying stuff, and finally found this recorded, been told about it a few times about the challange of flying lower than the hanger roof
the first few seconds of this vid show it beeing done in a buccaneer
regardless if you dont know the ins and outs, it pretty cool, and i like the idea of what a uk top gun would have been like

I've sat in a TSR2
Oh, and a Vulcan and Victor and a Harrier and a Eurofighter, Jaguar, Buccaneer, Nimrod, Herc, VC10, Tristar, Jet Provost, F16, Phantom, Hawk and a Spitfire.
I had a back seater in a Harrier when I was in the RAF. It has put me off roller coasters as nothing on the ground will ever come close to the thrill of a 500mph barrel roll and loop the loop

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

no this is sad
in theory that model should be xx885, which should be called "hello caroline"
but the nose art looks diffrent, but cant remember if xx885 has diffrent art left to right
