An RAF pilot conducting an unauthorised flight over London to mark the RAF’s 50th anniversary, a milestone he felt was inadequately recognised by the government. The pilot flew a Hawker Hunter jet low over landmarks, including Parliament, before passing through Tower Bridge. (1968) [4096×3401]

Can’t decide if this guy is a legend or an asshole.
What is the source of this photo?
I’m guessing they didn’t exactly give him a warm welcome when he landed.
Did he have Maverick written on his helmet? Surely…..
Epic!
Man it must have sucked to be those guys facing the wrong way. Turn around dudes!
