Because fixed-wing RAF aircraft are allowed down to 250 ft, which isn't very high up. Windemere lies on a natual route through the Lake District, including some great passes where you have to turn the aircraft almost completely upside-down to stay at 250 ft.

Upside-down at 250 ft is huge fun.

Yes, the Lake District is one of the UK's main LFTA's (low flying training areas). One of a number across the country.

They have to train some where

and the lakes gives them some of the most demanding conditions to train in.

Would you prefer them to stay high up to train and be shot down the first time they have to defend you in a war situation

There's a place in Wales called the Mach loop where you can get some stunning photography of the Typhoons
