I grew up a few miles from the South of Windermere: I was out and about on my bike one day in quite an exposed spot and heard a plane coming over, looked round to see a Harrier pointing straight at me! He rocked the plane after to say hi, but I still needed some fresh Y-fronts!
thankgoodness for youtube.........if it was for youtube us mere ground based mortals would never know what its like to fly low level over the great british countryside!! great post!
so youre the tw@ who always scares the crap out of me! Lay off the afterburners until you get past ullswater next time please, i'm sick of filling my keks ;o)
these fly boys are mad ,i was laying track in the aberglaslyn pass last summer and was amazed at their antics,flying low along the valley and only just clearing the porthmadog end!
That's an essential part of training. They must fly very low and very fast as to not be detected. It's been tried and proven that flying that low and fast ensures the aircraft remains undetected, so as part of training, they must fly at low level =)
The bit where you first go over the water itself, I swear that's where we went on camp with school haha, planes were flying over every day
