PPRuNe radar,

Just so I have this clear, you're stating the belief that there was some kind of equivalence in the responsibility of both captains?

And that being the case you don't think that the Cessna pilot's conduct of his flight warrants any condemnation?

And that you therefore see nothing wrong with flying at 350 ft for no good reason in a known area of military low flying, and while doing so, undertaking an activity which guaranteed that it would be impossible to maintain a reasonable lookout?

And you don't think that there's any evidence to suggest that the Cessna pilot was stretching the rules wrt the 500 ft bubble and flying for hire and reward?

This idiot went off and deliberately flew at 350 ft in an area in which military activity was likely, failing to give proper notification, and then cruised around taking photos with a hand held camera, thereby ensuring that any lookout he maintained would be, at best, cursory. FACT!

Or don't you like that one?
