I'd hazard a guess and say that was taken in Low Flying Area 7 in Wales, and known informally as the 'Mach Loop' (Machynlleth Loop - no, I can't pronounce it).
Used by the RAF and other NATO Air Forces, it's a favourite spot for aviation enthusiasts.

Aircrew are well aware of the likelihood of spectators along the route...
