There seems to be a theme of flying Vickers aircraft low, it reminds me very much of the BA VC10 at Popham? *-) You know the one. Great picture, many thanks :thumbsup:

The Vickers link's a bit tenuous but go on, and it was White Waltham with the '10.

And her fuselage now being resurrected at Brooklands and open for display. Which was a nice surprise when I went up a couple of weeks back :)

I was living in Alton, close to Lasham, from about 79 to 88 and drank with a Dan Air mechanic who took me up there a couple of times. He never mentioned that low pass so it can't have happened :lol:

EDIT: I remember now, he was Glaswegian with false teeth and a penchant for scotch. As nobody could understand him anyway, he may well have mentioned it :worried:

It's the fluoride in the water that they tested on us in the 70s Ian...well known side effects. I have to run all my posts through Babelfish......
