TBH.. that looks like so much BLX.

I've never seen an aircraft which looks like that and is the size of a scooter or smaller. If it's real (and I wouldn't trust the Mail).. if folk are being killed by low flying aircraft (real or imagined).. then they deserve it.. as do the pilots :cpu:

The approach from the other direction looks interesting too. Here are a few of my favourites

And some Youtube vids. The first one, get ready to duck from the Piper Aztec (I think) about 2mins 30 onwards. I wanna go there with my camera!
