Guys, I was unaware that low flying in a valley is illegal.
The report makes the point that the flight broke Rule 5 of the Rules of the Air which:.

"prohibits any aircraft from being flown closer than 500 feet flight from any person vehicle, obstacle or structure"......"except for the purposes of take-off and landing".

Page 78 of the report (page 8 of the pdf) refers: http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources...HL%2002-09.pdf
