Stuart,
I'm flying on my own,as it's easier than peering through a head,although I suppose I could sit in front when two up?
Thoroughly enjoying and thank you for your help in doing so.

Does the CAA ever prosecute pilots for doing a PFL?
Unless you were carying out the PFL in good faith and really didn't see the people until you were below the 500', and then carried out an immediate go-around.....Then the CAA won't prosecute you.

If you want a master class in the low flying rules give me a call particularly because I may be the one to get the call from the CAA if you breach them!!
1000 feet pah! I got the Cub up to 8000' once although I have to say it was very cold, it took a very long time and Norwich wouldn't believe me.

Just seen your post - everything going well out there?? Still very envious about your move and we will keep the L4 warm for your return

Why were you talking to them?? Part of the point of flying at that height over East Anglia is that you can go wherever you like without talking to anyone.
(Although I couldn't resist calling Cambridge with "field in sight" from overhead Honington.)

Other JAA states
A banner towing aircraft flew over my apartment in Spain a few months back, (in fact over all the apartments parallel to the beach, so a good few) at I would guess no more than 200 feet. The apartment block is 4 stories high, I was one up from the ground on the balcony.
Anyway the height was low enough to me to clearly see the individual oil streaks and marks under the cowling.
Is low flying actively policed in other states, like here?

500 feet
If you see the courting couple then if you actually land in the field then you are legit as obviously the 500 foot rule does not apply if you are landing!
The other opt out is a glider ridge soaring but not a lot of people know that!
