IIRC RAF aircraft are allowed to fly 250 ft above sea level across most of the country.
There used to be defined Low Flying Areas where this could be done, but they changed the rules a while back and let them do it almost everywhere. Major cities and other prohibited areas are banned, but the rest of us are fair game, especially if you live in Wales, Scotland, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Moors or the Peak District.
I'm sure Jim (JayBee) or Dave (Kitbasher) will be able to tell us more detail about it.
Where I used to live in the North Forest of Dean, a village called Longhope, there was a turning point for one of the LFAs about 1/4 mile south of my house, and the place was regularly blasted by Buccs and Tornadoes turning almost overhead. Of course they were religiously following the 250 ft above sea level rules,, but the house was 170 ft above sea level..............
