I'm not sure either if it was an official video?
Yep it was a tourist board production to promote the idea of basing UK aircraft away during the olympics.

Was pretty good actually apart from maybe trading standards objecting because t never once showed it pissing down with rain.

Certain sections of the CAA have always been dead against PFL below 500ft. Which of course is pretty much useless from a teach point of view.

I always did wonder about the low approach and go-around with twin training because your intention was never to land and normally on twin training you had to go down to 200ft on the ILS.

I'm not sure how close this chap got to Pembry Air Weapons Range (I'll have to watch it again), but he is likely to get a rocket up his ar*e; literally. Moreover, having spent 39 years ultra low flying.. legally, it does require an element of skill. Least of which are the hazards involved... I should know, as I hit a duck at 500 mph....ouch!
