    RAF Typhoon fighter jets gopro cockpit view. Amazing low level flight through the Mach Loop Wales & Lake District low-level tactical training areas. Backseat view from wingman aircraft as these fast jets fly at 500mph and only 250ft above the ground.
    The Mach Loop is a series of valleys in Wales, UK, were aircraft can fly as low as 250ft above the terrain. There are various photo viewpoints along the valleys, which I have indicated in the video.

    09:00 30 years ago I watched two Tornado GR4’s flying the opposite route, coming low over Crummock Water and Buttermere, hugging the hillside and shooting the gap between Red Pike and High Stile at head height where I was stood. That was a good day!

    I keep watching this video, I am addicted to it. The Royal Airforce without any doubt has the best fighter pilots in the world. Thank goodness there are talented, razor-sharp people who can successfully pass the training and become top fighter pilots. We all owe them a massive debt of gratitude.

    THAT is magnificent!! I can barely imagine what that must feel like from INSIDE the aircraft!! Totally amazing! I need another ten cameras placed around the aircraft to see it from all perspectives!! Thank you SO much for this. I am in awe of it. Superb!! And to answer those comments about the "noise" of the aircraft. People who "know" realize that that sound is not "noise' but the sound of FREEDOM. When YOUR military are making those sounds, YOU can enjoy YOUR freedom. Thanks to the people making that sound!!

      Was back at Valley a couple weeks ago for Families day. The show was a shadow of what used to pass for "airshows" at valley in the 80s and early 90s sadly. I did get the old familiar thrill though, sitting in the sand-dunes by the old dump/fire pit, watching approaching dots in the sky toward the mountains and wondering what they'll turn out to be.
      Shame really, if Valley put on another airshow it would be a HUGE success, but I doubt it would ever happen these days in our oversaturated H&S culture

    The loop is from Brigands Inn, to Dinas Maddwy up over the Bulch (pass) quick sprint to Cross Foxes ( Pub/Hotel), then. hard left, follow the road through The Cad Valley, and exit left before the lake, following the Corris road, which takes you over Machynlleth. Follow the valley to Brigands and repeat or go somewere else. hence the Mach Loop.

    Beautiful footage. In a way I feel sorry for the people living below the flight path. I live a few miles from an F35 training base and have groups of up to six F35"s go over my house several times a day many days a week and they are LOUD, VERY LOUD. No complaints though. Been here around 25 years and it was F16's up to a number of years back when the F16's were fazed out to be replaced with the F35's. The F16 was loud but the F35 is much louder. Beautiful profile to look at in the sky however. Enjoy looking at them.. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the video.

    Picture the scene...I was out on Coniston lake on my own in a small rowing boat fishing. It was a truly beautiful day, it was so calm...only the peaceful sound of the occasional duck in the distance...then I heard a faint whistling sound somewhere behind me...was it getting louder...where was it coming from...what was it...then suddenly such an enormous sound came over my head from behind and I really really nearly fell/jumped into the lake...it was Biggles..thank god.
    I know someone's going to say they couldn't have been too low because they are limited to certain heights...Bollocks!
    I laughed my head off with adrenalin

      I've had Typhoons fly over the house, made the foundations shake! Glad you never went for a swim!
