I made the front page of a local rag in Gloucestershire a few years back for a particularly exaggerated low flying complaint. The lady who called it in said I crossed in front of her car at “grass top height” and “half a Fiat Uno bonnet length” in front of her. When the RAF police came to investigate I told them it was one of the most routine low level flights I’d ever done and I genuinely wished I could fly a 70 foot long helicopter at 2 inches above the ground, 150kts and about 18 inches in front of a car

Simon......dear boy you just stated "Intent" to the RAF Plod. Now all they have to do is some field trials to gather the evidence that proves you in fact did as accused.
Remember...when a Woman makes a complaint about being done un-nicely by a Male of the Human Species....."She must be believed!".
Is the Two Inch thing the real cause for her angst perhaps?

Reminds me of the low fly complaint I dealt with at Boscombe mid-90s.
Lady said a big helicopter was in her back garden and making such a racket. I asked if she could see any writing on it and her reply was "Yes, it says NO STEP ".
