Re: Low flying helicopters.

The situation in the Lakes is not as bad as yours down south but we do get some impressive jet displays. They always seem to appear on the finest of days. We also get the Hercules, they often appear, like buses, in three's.

They're the quiet giants and quite a site to see them flying at 200' up the length of Windermere when you're above them on the hill.

Our local paper publishes a low flying hotline number that I know is regularly used. A caller with a complaint will receive a nice letter and an RAF booklet with all the planes and weaponry listed and explained.
