Just found this one on the Real Aeroplane Company’s page:
Reminds me of Ray Hanna flying the OFMC Buchon at one of the Fighter Meets in the late 80’s or better still, that sequence at the start of the BoB film were a Buchon is only just above a not so tall fence! 😀

The BoB Scene
By the way it was not planned that way. The spanish Buchon pilot surprised everybody.
“GarcÃa-Bermúdez spoke to us about his low height pass in the sequence of the assault. Since they had only been authorized to go down to 10 meters, there was imposed a fine of 10 pounds, which went to a bag used every month to organize a party with all the pilots and their wives. An attendee asked him why has he flown so low if it was not necessary, and he answered that he didn’t know it, maybe it was the enthusiasm of a 25 years old boy t. He said a Rebuke of the director because the plane was out of the angles of the cameras, but it was turning out to him curious that he left the above mentioned intact scene in the final assembly” There was a cinema, and every day was showing us how we had done it. He told me bad work, 10 pounds, but then he, did not cut the scene “.

When Cor van Gent was guided around at Villanubla-Vallodolid on 23 September 1988 the guide (pilot) takes him to a spot near the runway. One of the based aircraft will make some overshoots for the occasion. After a while a Spanish Caribou appears at relatively high altitude, intending to start the private airshow with a dive. Even before the plane fully recovers from the dive the guide starts cursing and yelling in fluent Spanish and a few seconds later surprised Cor understands why. The Caribou is losing much too much height and its pilot only just succeeds in keeping it in the air. The eventual outcome was not only a very spectacular picture, but most probably also blood, sweat and tears for the crew.
