I've no idea what fighter jets they were anymore ... it was a loooong time ago. But they did that across the flight deck of HMS Jupiter when we were down for Gulf War 1 ..... seemed they were about 20 ft above the flight deck!

I was on a boat on Derwent Water when three fighter jets did a low fly past, I nearly shat myself.    Obviously nowhere near what they do to ground crew but still good to see.

I think they were  Jaguars, maybe Belgian Alphajets

The spitfire flyover is a classic though

The Jets were French air force Jaguar A's. The ones on the ground are French Airforce Mirage 2000C's. The hardened shelters are typical French Airforce design, so the base is likely to have been either Orange or Dijon. Doesn't look like Cambrai.

I’ve read they were Belgian Dessault Aviation practicing at Corsica👍

Suggest you read better sources then  . Belgium never operated the Jaguar (or the Mirage 2000) and the three in the beat up are definatley Jaguars. Belgium did operate the Mirage V, but they were all dark green and brown.  The only other European operators of the Jag were the RAF - but they were a different colour to these French ones. The only other European operator of Mirage 2000 is Greece. Corsica is possible though - never been there.

Scrub that, just looked again on a better monitor. I think they are (well at least the first one is) Belgian Alpha Jets. If you single step through the frames you get one where you can see the tail more clearly - and you can see the tip is dayglow orange. Serials were in large white letters half way up the fin, and began "AT- , and you can see although not read that too.

Belgian Alpha jets operated from Brustem (in Belgium) and from Cazaux in France.

Dassault Aviation is a company similar to British Aerospace (BAe Systems) who make most of the fast jets operated by France. That includes the entire Mirage range, the Rafale and they were part of the consortium which built the Jaguar (SEPECAT) and Alpha Jet (Aerospatial and Dornier).

And all apart from Dassault have long since become part of Airbus...

Ahh I did mention Alphajets earlier

We were in a caravan a couple of years ago when there was the mother of all explosions, whole caravan shook. We thought the caravan next door must have blown up. Went out side to find a lot of puzzled people looking around.

Turned out it was two Eurofighters on an emergency intercept that had been cleared to go supersonic over land...and they must have been low too!!!

There is allegedly a lost video somewhere of Blackburn Buccaneers buzzing the yank's who were trying and, massively failing, to track them on one of the Red Flag exercises , the yanks were scared shitless by it and couldn't believe how low the Brit pilots could get them.
