That Super Frelon! Whenever one came to Yeovilton for Air Day it always took the runway furthest away from you, the gits.

Another great selection from the halcyon days of film when even YOU could live with a step-ladder growing out the underside of a Spanish RF-4C ! :D
You are not alone 'centaurus18'. Only other time I can recall catching a Super Frelon was a Flight Demo' at Middle Wallop IAS back when they were overall dark grey with a white upper scheme!
