Re: Low level loss of concentration

As someone who once worked for a water authority in Scotland I can confirm they do indeed fly low - often when you are at a reservoir or other installation high up in the hills you are actually looking down on them in the valley.

Although we had no evidence we were pretty sure they used such installations as "target practice" - flying direct at you (very hard to see them coming towards you) then pulling up at the last minute (second?). They could literally shake tools out of your hand at times and I know I wasn't the only person to actually drop to the ground on occasion thinking it was game over.

However, having read the article I am suitably stiff upper lip impressed to know that our boys have teapots on board - where would the RAF be without a good cuppa. What ho. Jolly good.
