Sound of my childhood that, they used to do low level flypasts frequently in mid staffs when I was tiny. Apparently they used the local power station as a practice target, but I'm not sure if that's just an urban legend.
@ukmachloop OK, I will do . Many thanks. Were you in the military? or is it just a hobby taking videos of the planes. I'm just curious. Obviously, you don't have to say no problem either way.
GR1s were painted pink to camouflage against the desert, this was painted later as a mark of respect and celebration of what went before

I'm guessing this is an older video, since Kuwait was liberated in 1991 (so 25 years = 2016)
