This reminded me of a story I heard as a lad in the late 1950s/early
1960s involving a Hawker Hunter flying between the upper and lower
spans of Tower Bridge in London. I have always thought the story
must be apocryphal, but having seen the Spitfire clip, now I'm not
so sure....

I heard that, too. I seem to remember the pilot being court-
marshaled or something. IIRC again, it had something to do with the
disbandment of some squadrons, or closing of bases, or.... At any
rate, it was related as a gesture on the part of a senior pilot.

Another story along the same lines.
