We flew the army gazelle down to 150 feet single pilot

We did the same with Pumas, everywhere, anytime.
We flew the Wessex at 50ft agl on low level transits on Ex in Germany - there again the Pumas always were big P====ys

Just before my time on the Seaking somebody tried to demonstrate a trans down at RAF Chetwynd ( a grass airfield) - unfortunately I believe the rad alt unlocked over the waving long grass so the system thought it was higher than 50ft and planted the Seaking firmly!! onto the ground.

Sorry about slight thread drift!!
