This is the display of an RAF Phantom at Newtownards airshow. This footage was taken by my father. I think the year is 1984. Apologies for the quality - it was taken off a VHS tape. Listen to the roar off it! What comes from the plane at the 47sec mark? Is it dumping fuel or something? You have no problem seeing that jet coming at you (very smokey)!

It may have been fuel that was being dumped...it could have also been a puff of smoke from the engine,maybe because the pilot was adjusting his throttle in the turn. I don't think the pilot would have been allowed to dump fuel so near the crowd or the flightline.

I don't think it is fuel dumping - it's the cycle out of AB where some fuel gets dumped overboard!!!

It's likely it was dumping fuel for a couple of seconds I think ;-)
