Has anyone actually seen the "Come Outside" plane flying around back then when it was still airing or being shot? Would love to hear people's thoughts if they remember. (lemmy.world)

No it was a viral advertising campaign during the 60s for the baudy CarryOn films.

It encouraged people to strip down to their undergarments and leave their houses if they saw the plane, and if you didn't and someone saw you, then you got "dobbed" on which is sort of like teabagging but more civilized
