LOL! I've mentioned my test pilot friend before - we used to get regularly buzzed on the archaeological site....

I think the equivalent of the Blue Angels are the Red Arrows - like you, we used to get them flying in formation over the house in Gloucester. One year, I went down to the Brighton seafront to discover a big display - they hadn't been to B'ton for years, ever since one of them had to ditch the plane in the sea. But he missed the pier, so that was OK.
