Derwent Valley 17th Oct 2019

Disturbing incident while loadlifting yesterday, I had 3 airprox's in one afternoon with ultra low level fixed wings ( prop ac doing around 150 kts ), one passed overhead lift site over my self at about 100 ft , second hard banking turn to avoid me according to ground crew. All three occasions we were carrying loads 50 ft under helicopter on a longline so unable to manouvre plus coming from dead astern. 2 then flew over drop site then ultra low level down " the dam busters run " in the Derwent valley.
According To Manchester were squawking 7001 which is a military squawk. Anyone out there know where they would have come from as we were very close to a midair Plus flying through a Notam'd area. If you know who please can you tell them to have half a brain, cheers
