That might be the most impressive go around I've seen in my life! This aircraft aready blew my mind during departure. Indeed, it is part of the QRA (Quick Reaction Alert), the Permanence Opérationnelle in French, so it was quite impressive to see the take-off, just a few minutes after the alarm rang.
For the return, 1h45 after, I decided to get just under the approach path for a different shot. Little did I know that it woud do such a crazy go-around followed by an immediate and very dynamic left bank!

The Soviet deployment of the SS-20 missile from 1975 caused major concern in the NATO alliance. NATO agreed to deploy in Europe from 1983 up to 464 USAF BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missiles or GLCMs.
The UK's share of this total was 160 missiles, 96 based at Greenham Common with four spares, and 64 at RAF Molesworth. When in June 1980 it was announced that RAF Greenham Common was to become the first site for cruise missiles, there was an outcry from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. A massive new construction was undertaken as the GLCM Alert and Maintenance Area (GAMA) site was built in the southwest corner of the base. GAMA was a maximum security QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) area with 6 large above ground shelters in which fully operational cruise missiles were stored.
These shelters were specially designed and constructed to protect the GLCMs and crews against nuclear and conventional strikes. They were about 10 m high, with a reinforced 2 m thick concrete ceiling. Below was a massive titanium plate, 3 m of sand and a reinforced concrete plate. The shelters were completely covered with tons of clay. Each shelter was equipped with three hydraulic nuclear blast proof doors at both ends to assure a quick entry or exit. They were designed to withstand the blast of an air-bursting nuclear explosion above the base or a direct hit from a 2,500 lb (1,100 kg) conventional bomb.
Each shelter contained 2 LCC Launch Control Centres and 4 TEL transporter erector launchers. Units were mobile and, once deployed, would travel from the base in convoys to secret preset dispersal sites. This would happen within minutes of the alert being given; movement was via local roads through the surrounding villages.
The first squadron of the 501st Tactical Missile Wing received its weapons in November 1983; they were flown onto the base by Lockheed C-5 Galaxies.
The United States and the Soviet Union signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1987, which led to the removal of all nuclear missiles from the base. The last GLCMs at RAF Greenham Common were removed in March 1991, and the 501st TMW inactivated on 4 June 1991.

When spotting around French Air Force Bases, you might be greeted with a QRA exercise, as they fly everyday. That day we were lucky to have them fly while we were on approach.

A day at the fence of Wittmund Airbase, Germany.
This collage shows some of the aircraft flown on that cloudy day. The Typhoon are based at Wittmund as well as the aircraft of the canadian company Top Aces the A-4N Skyhawk and the former german Alpha Jet A.
The Grizzly was a guest from the Tactical Air Force Wing 62 (TLG62) from Wunstorf.
Such a clever scheme. Aircraft really is XR718 and as such is painted on the other side in the colours of 111 Squadron.
