That appears to be what we call a 'tailchase' and the way No 2 was flying meant he caught the tail =)) Lucky no-one was hurt.

There used to be a pair of Jaguars (FAF) that did an incredibly close together, slow demo, including one being inverted over the other. I used to worry about the closeness of the tails as I was doing their commentary. What to say if it goes wrong??
