F**K that was low!!!!
Had a lot of P zero,s flying around recently, (last 3 days)
and literally 5 minutes ago, i heard them again (so i thought)
looked out the back window, and nearly pooped,
coming over very low, low enough to see the pilot and the rivets on the fusalage was an old dornier (or similar)
no attempt to pull up, just trickled over the houses and headed toward Chichester...
i didnt think they could fly that low?? whats the normal minimums?

How close are you to the airfield, and are you under the approach?

about 7-9 miles in a straight line, just done a googly earth line up.... its in line with the air field as such , but most approach in the other direction..

Grabbed from a phone so not the best quality ever but I'd say good enough to show a Dakota flying quite low... I've cropped, resized and applied some light shapening as the files were farkin' huge!
