I think the final link on my original post (which may not work now) answered the points more than satisfactorily. In case you didn't read it, it was about Chinook ops in Afg. When Chinny crews are getting routinely hit by small arms fire then the lower you can fly the safer you are. QED Low flying skills remain a vital part of training. Furthermore oven if the 3 Para Major didn't like the support he was getting from GR7s he did think A10 CAS was excellent. Excellent because it is delivered at low level and with lots of bullet bombs and rockets. Still requires low level practice. Both of these letter writers are exceptionally naive, and obviously out to promote their own agendas. Mr Warren doesn't like low level flying and Lt Col Blunt doesn't like the fact he bought a house under the approach to one of the largest RAF airfields in the country.
