Low Flying C130? 6/10/18 Braintree Area

A few years ago on cricket tour south of Minehead 3 Herc’s flew over the ground so low you could see (but not read) the stencilling on the fuselages. Very impressive.

I can’t imagine any 4 engine types that have any business at 500 feet other than Hercules or A400s.
I’d like to think the BBMF or Sally B crews would know better.
Likewise, P-3 operators…(a forum reader recently mistook one for a B-17).

Yep – same down our way in the Vale of Pewsey (or a bit west): Hercs, Merlins, Chinooks and Osprey are all regular visitors to our roof tiles. And lately the A400Ms have joined in too. Quite impressive when you’re ready for it but less of a lark at 2am when you’re dreaming of Spitfires (honest dear).

You call that low?! Over here in the Blackmore Vale (Somerset/Dorset) I’ve been on a hill top 140m height, and looked down on a C130 in the valley below, valley floor is 76m.
