Boys will be boys

April 5 1968, Pilot Alan Pollock flew his Hawker Hunter through the span of the Tower Bridge. He said he did this to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Air Force and in protest of the refusal of the Air Ministry to recognize the event.  He later said he did it on a whim.
