so apparently they were not only overflying at low leve a urban area with a single engine helicopter but they were inside a restricted area.
We do not know if they were flying low level.
German pilot two Austrian crew. If their mission was Jerez to Malaga as reported they weren't going direct, is it mandatory to overfly Santa Maria to the South East if ones destination is to the East?
Apparently this was their mission...flying along the coast doing orbits of hotels. Nice idea hope the idea catches on ... work for all.

Here is a promo of the filming operation, edited a few weeks ago, happily, all the shots are from a respectable height
It is normal for the camera op to sit in the rear left with recording and cineflex control equipment and recorder on the other seat, and hopefully not blocking the exit, thus the 2nd passenger usually sits in the front.

Note that the still picture on the website of a camera man filming from the front left seat with a hand held broadcast size camera is a red herring, as he was probably just shooting a few promo shots, not likely that this camera was being utilized during the shoot.
