Near-miss [Biggin 2006]

[CookipediaChef]

I filmed this sequence way back in 2006 at Biggin and thought it might be appreciated here.

Bet he required a change of pants!

[panta615]

I remember this well. Someone got a big telling off. Think some of the faces said it all tbh. Shocking!

[Stroudy]

It doesn't get much closer than that.......

[The Phantom]

Bl**dy hell!!! It doesn't get any closer than that without crashing

[Dave934]

CookipediaChef you do realise you are the only person in history to get a land locked low level shot from Cambridgeshire !!!! (the flattest county in England) lol
Dave.
EDIT...whoops, sorry I thought it was Duxford !! Brain freeze again !

[Blackcat1]

Wow!! Literally cutting the grass!!! Nice catch!!l

[Amp]

Cambridgeshire?

[MRTT]

Was wondering that as well.

[Stroudy]

...even in Kent, you know its low when the shot is landlocked at an actual airfield, and the snapper is stood on the deck!

[Gus0898uk]

Great shots, it took a lot of nerve from the pilot not to 'Bang Out'.

[Amp]

"Deliberately that low" and "VERY experienced" .... Those two terms are surely opposite !

[MRTT]

You can't argue that the teams pilots are very experienced. But, I very much doubt that was deliberately done.

[donfairburn]

Surely thats the valley at the western end of the runway so probably not as low as it looks.

[slogen51]

Wow!

I think that might be an optical illusion - at least i hope it was

[Sparts99]

Looks to me like he's over the valley. Ray Hanna regularly took MH434 down onto it off a loop, back in the 70's and early 80's display aircraft would often use it for effect, even a Victor at a BoB Open day once that I saw. No doubt the pilot did get a serious talking to as such manouvres were banned after the A-26 crash.
