A bit late to this thread but I thought I’d leave a comment for posterity and any future visitors – it is Sqn Ldr Guy Pearce (with a ‘c’ not an ‘s’) in the front and according Flt Lt Martin Wistow, almost certainly him in the back. This wasn’t a one off event so he can’t be sure.

Since he arrived in St Athan in ’79 and left for Germany in ’84 and Guy Pearce left in ’85 it would place the photo between then.

Despite appearances the fly by, whilst spectacular, wasn’t dangerous and was a huge morale booster not only for the crews who worked for 90 days on the aircraft but the rest of the station as well.

Fly bys like this were also done with the Buccaneer and then, later, with the Tornado from ’83.
