On the 15th of April 1943 the C.O. of RAF Eshott, one Group Captain Beisiegel is protesting to Acklington about pilots low flying over the OTUs.

On receipt of a complaint today made by Group Captain Beisiegel (C.O. of RAF Eshott) a letter was addressed to the Squadron Commanders on this Station, ie No 409 and 350, instructing them to take decisive steps in order that every pilot should thoroughly understand that no low flying must be carried out over or near Eshott, or any other O.T.U airfield in the district. They were also requested to see that this entry was made in the Pilots Order book.

Looks like low flying gives the pilots a bit of an adrenalin buzz, and if they can spook some trainees then all the better.
But.... I decided to Google the name of the officer making the complaint, Beisiegel, and this came up:

Now that's a strange twist isn't it. He was a low flying addict himself.
