Any aircraft flying that low, if not intending to land would be in
breach of the Air Navigation Order even in VMC.

Oh the private boys are fine. Even the microlights tend to be about
1000ft plus. The military do not though. 4-600 feet and the
helicopters...yeah well.
4 PLANNING THE ROUTE
e)........Do not plan to fly below
1500 ft AGL; it hides features, you
may meet high speed military aircraft
(see Safety Sense Leaflet No. 18
‘Military Low Flying’), and it reduces
options in the event of engine failure.
Exactly. the military owns sub 1500, and thats where the mills will go.
