I can remember once being almost able to feel the heat from the redness on farmer's face when we popped up over the brow of a hill and scattered the herd of cows he had obviously just managed to get together in a corner of his field.

C130s are regulars on low level navexes on most if not all of the RAFs low flying routes around the UK. For example, I've seen several making waves in Loch Lubnaig in recent years they've been so low over the water.
