I imagine thats quite the rush for the guys on the deck.
It looks like a Folland Gnat to me. Probably belongs to the Brits or some other European country. England's Red Arrows used to fly these.

It looks like the HUD in that aircraft reads in 10' increments. Not sure if they all do. I have speed tape in my airplane which is kind of the same only totally different. lol I'm guessing at three feet based on the guys it went between being an average of about 5'10".

I've seen some US fighters down in the bushes going crazy fast. They just don't let them do that stuff at airshows here in the US. It is impressive! Probably not a good idea to blink when you're that low and that fast.
