Got to agree with Evaluator. Always seemed to be an awful lot of telling them where we were. I should point out that that was in a seaking!
In my Gazelle they really would be very unlikely to see me. We used to lose visual on each other in formation FFS!

I always hear a lot about how the radar will find us. Not convinced. Had an E3 and a Bagger have a go on one occasion and didn't see any of the package. 3 SK4, 2 merlin and one Gazelle. We were low, but not proper war low, not even close. Wartime with an air threat I'd be at 10ft. How do missiles work through trees?

With no cover I'd be very scared. In European countryside with any trees and terrain I'd be relatively comfortable. How do you hit me if I hide behind a hill/trees/buildings etc?

The Gazelle has very low thermal signature, it's small, it's sprightly and it has fantastic lookout.
Tricky target if prepared.
