It's been done for real. A Hawker Hunter, back in the 60s I think.

I'm guessing you'd have a bit of trouble with that, maybe Richmond bridge would be the trickiest

I tried flying a Nimrod inverted under a bridge near Kinloss.

Went badly. Didn't appreicate quite how high the vertical stabliser is. Simulator was all good fun though.

Tower bridge facts on the web says said:
In 1912, Frank McLean flew his biplane under the bridge! Since then, 6 other aviators have repeated the feat. Some of them died.
