Very interesting (and entertaining) conversation. I do not have a video footage of an actual RBS but I do have a couple of videos showing the aircraft on the verge of LTE and one instance of it, to bad the bird operator stop filming when it happened.
It seems on the first video that the aircraft is close to the ground at one point but the Radar Alt is showing 200 ft straight down, it is just the steepness of the hill that makes it look really close.

On the second video the actual altitude was higher than what you can see on the Altimeter due to the fact that the altimeter setting used was the one at the DGPS fixed station down at sea level and we were working in a very high pressure zone.
