Sorry String,that is fake,has been fiddled with and pretty badly as well to be honest-look at it again,and you will see it`s fake,its pretty obvious-no shadows from the aircraft,and the scale looks all wrong.

Just been reported this is not a hoax http://uk.news.yahoo.com/duck--the-spectacular-moment-jet-plane-swoops-just-metres-above-crowd-104018122.html?vp=1#mdwuSwR

Having watched it, I believe that AT brings up a relevant point about the scale... I wonder!!!

RAF have released a statement on it, so you'd have to imagine there's some veracity.

Possibly some truth to it,but it just does not look right to me.There are so many faked clips online now,and this one does look iffy to me.
The freeze frame of the aircraft at the end of the clip,look at the position of where the sun is,yet no shadow,and the pilot is visable,compare his size to the people on the ground in the backround.
I think it looks suspect,maybe I`m wrong;it could be the lens used has caused a slight fisheye effect and distorted things.
If it is a legit clip,then it appears the pilot nearly stuffed the thing into the hedge.I note the RAF "spokesperson " spoke to the Daily Mail,and we all know what a reliable paper that is. ;D
A spokesman for the RAF told MailOnline:
'The area concerned is directly under the flight path of the runway and has clear warnings and flashing traffic lights designed to ensure that the public stay clear.
‘The approach of the Typhoon to RAF Waddington was completely normal and within all normal parameters.
'Individuals placing themselves under the flight path of aircraft that operate hugely powerful jet engines should not be surprised if they experience jet wash, nevertheless, the RAF apologises for any inconvenience caused.'
He said there was no damage to the boundary fence or the aircraft.
On a side note there was a link to a clip of Rugby moron Gavin Henson getting a punch in the chops-that looked real enough!

BBC interview some of the people at the end of runway:

I'm going with it being real. Looking at the frames there are very detailed shadows including the weapons/fuel systems.

After watching this a few more times,I think what has got my attention is the view seen in the top pic posted by Furryforest.
It looks weird,the aircraft appears much too large and out of scale,but I suppose the lens used on whatever recorded this has given it a distorted look,a fisheye lens effect,which made me think it had been tweaked in some way.
