Following on from the Low Level Video thread - just in case anyone was in any doubt as to which Service has the expertise in real low level ops (as opposed to staged fly-throughs in a well known environment) - please permit me to introduce to you: THE ROYAL AIR FORCE

The photos are pretty good
The RAF are OK but there are just as good . I think I can validate this opinion by having worked for 3 years in ATC at NATO lo level flying training area in Goose Bay . Your lo level area or routes in Europe are pretty small . Ours was almost the size of the UK itself which is why it was used by the RAF, GAF,RNLAF, IAF and others .
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a Typhoon. The Rafale has canards sitting more aft of the cockpit and has split, curvy intakes while the Eurofighter has its canards in a more forward position with side-by-side rectangular intakes.

Ye Gods and little fishes as though any Englishman would post a pic of a French aeroplane - I ask you! Aggie08 gets 10/10. Typhoon F2 and T1 in that order.
I definitely approve of the name. Wikipedia says "Rafale" means "squall" in English, so not only do they look similar, they have similar names as well.
