 :y Brilliant!...`well worth downloading.  :y

I`ve been trying to pinpoint the area shown: I think it might be the Ogwen valley?...with the camera vantage point being N.N.E of the lake?

I`d dearly-love to bring my little-plane flying in this beautiful area, but the intense low-level military activity combined with the low radar signature of my glass-composite airframe makes me REALLY nervous!  :o

The actual camera-location isn`t far from here....I think a day out with my camera is called for!  :y

They do get close `here sometimes; the nosey parkers!  ;)

How do the Yanks compare to the RAF on low flying?

Rules in the UK are the same for all, regardless of "home country" rules...

Low flying is legally anything below 2000ft. - The Military MSD - Minimum Seperation Distance - is 250ft....  its like a "bubble" around the aircraft, into which NOTHING is allowed, ground, aerials, wires, bridges, etc etc etc...

So no military aircraft, regardless of origin - should be below 250 ft - unless specifically tasked and authorised to do so - which does happen but infrequently.

I got a bit annoyed with a little twin that was circling above our village a couple of weeks ago, almost to the point of getting my binoculars out and reporting the git.

Then I discovered this: http://www.hampshire.police.uk/Internet/news/releases/Second+appeal+issued+following+Four+Marks+armed+robbery.htm

 :o Ruddy BMW drivers. ::)

I thought it was an aerial photo outfit.
