Did anyone also see the RNZAF 757 around lunch time doing a knife-edge pass across the waterfront?

All i know is they have terrible single engine handling, hence the name death star, a bit like the Mitsubishi Mu,

Yesterday afternoon I could also see a small aircraft doing aerobatics over the Tamaki Estuary- I thought it must have been a model RC plane because it was pulling incredible manoeuvres but I couldn't here its engine sound, and I was looking at it in the distance though binoculars so I couldn't tell its size.
