The story: On 5th April 1968, a Royal Air Force, Hawker Hunter pilot, Allan Pollock performed unauthorised low flying manoeuvres across famous landmarks throughout London.
He performed the manoeuvres to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the RAF and as a demonstration against the Ministry of Defence for not recognising it.
The aircraft was flown out of RAF Tangmere and Pollock flew low level across London. The Hawker Hunter circled Houses of Parliament three times as a demonstration against the prime minister at the time, Harold Wilson, and the government. Allan chose to do this as the government had made cuts which impacted the RAF. The next landmark was the Royal Air Force memorial where he dipped the wings. After, he then flew through Tower Bridge.
Also, Pollock flew low level across several airfields: Dunsfold Aerodrome, Wattisham, Lakenheath, and finally, over Marham.
Pollock then arrived at RAF West Raynham. After landing, Pollock was arrested and taken out of the RAF on medical grounds.
