I read, and understand what you are all saying, for clarity I will list the facts:
The A/c was not Military it was low winged, single engine, and painted all white, with fixed u/c, it could have come from EGNH or EGNL or EGNC possibly even EGGP or EGNM they are all within that range for "fun Flying"
The Swan at Newby bridge is a very well known watering hole possible not down south, but up here int North it is well known and handles a lot of Heli traffic from visitors.
The Swan its self sits at about 40ft AMSL, the buildings are about 50 to 55ft high, the heli park at the rear covers about 3 to 4 acres, trees at the very end are about 60/80ft
The A/c flew in from the Barrow In Furnace direction, passed over the Swan at roughly 80/100 ft then had to climb to miss the trees at the rivers edge, after the trees, it then came down to around 30/40ft from the lakes surface.
I keep looking but cannot find in any of my books where it is legal to fly at that height over houses (alongside the River Leven) and then over this newly White painted big sticky out Hotel.
Is this is normal in the Fw community ?
For he read He/she(pilot)
I think this was an outrageous piece of flying, that given a few more seconds could have led to a terminal incident, would it look good for either Heli or F/w flyers if that had happened?
Somebody out there in the small flying community in the North will know who this pilot is,
Bright Ling, Nah not a witch hunt, but the pilot/ess needs a severe Ear bashing!
