Sasless - no I don't think so but we have so few wirestrikes (over all UK military) that the way we train does seem to work fine. However, wires awareness is drummed into every mil helo pilot right from day one.

The argument about the wires has gone to and fro with some talking about telephone wires being difficult to spot in hedgerows and the next person talking about big HT wires. I thought we were talking about approaches into fields and other small LSs which is why I specified the telephone wires - even the yanks don't hide HT cables at 30' in treelines do they?

QTG - the question is - if you weren't constrained by the requirement to fly Class 1 approaches - would you still do it out of choice? I'm not and I don't.
